Yale SCEA Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

Does Yale see when you submit the application? Good luck to everyone!

@HenryFeddersen yes but I don’t think it has a huge impact

@HenryFeddersen yeah, it’s timestamped.

@Seniors.yikes.us
Thanks!

I was offered an interview last Tuesday and emailed the interviewer back a few hours later on the same day but I haven’t heard anything since then - does anyone know if I should email them again or what?

I haven’t even gotten an interview offer yet :frowning:

@margaret1332 I would send another email in case the internet ate it (or more likely, the interviewer lost it in their inbox). Better to get it done sooner than later ^^

Any international who got the interview? I haven’t been offered one yet… Oh, and how am I supposed to submit an additional LOR? My additional recommender just posted the physical copy to the admissions office. Do I need to email them that it’s coming at them?

Just submitted! Excited to spend the next month and a half with you guys stressing over decisions :smiley:

@gyunnzb No. The deadline for CSS Profile is Nov 11. http://finaid.yale.edu/

@ThomasKMJ – the posted rec letter is all that’s needed. As long as it identifies you, it’ll be matched to your file. If you happen not to be accepted and are applying to other US colleges, know that fax or an email scan is sufficient for the additional LOR, too.

Nearly done with the process, a minor issue about my recs and then I’ll be totally done!

@hhjjlala - All I know is that I get a notice from the Alumni Schools Committee to interview a candidate. The back workings are not a part of my process. And since we do not get transcripts, essays, recommendations or anything besides contact info and possible major (unlike other schools), I wouldn’t know if it had been submitted or not. But it would make sense that they would not assign them until the package is complete since all interviewers are volunteers with busy schedules so it would be meaningless to take the time on an applicant that did not complete the process.

Good luck to all applicants and I am looking forward to meeting some of you in my area.

Quick Question: It says that Yale downloaded my supplements and Recommendations, but I haven’t received access to my portal yet? Sorry I think my paranoia is coming in haha

just submitted! lol :slight_smile:

Thanks, @T26E4 . @chyaboi123 I haven’t either. I guess there are just too many applicants jajaja

@chyaboi123 They haven’t even downloaded mine :stuck_out_tongue:

@ThomasKMJ Glad to see I’m not the only one in the boat :slight_smile: When did you submit your application?

@chyaboi123 @ThomasKMJ I wouldn’t worry about it. The website says that it takes up to 3 days to get the invite to the portal.

@chyaboi123 Like three days ago. I still haven’t received the email directing me to their admissions portal… My Common App says “Downloaded - November 1, 2016 ET” though. Does that mean that they’ve downloaded my application?
