Yale SCEA Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

Completed my interview yesterday. It was very good conversation. So all formalities completed and waiting…

I used my school email on my application and sometimes emails that Are from a different server don’t go through. Should I let Yale know?

I think so. And check if you can change the portal email (unless you can’t get the portal because of the email)

@T26E4 I guess I won’t be interviewed. Btw I forgot to mention it earlier, but I’m an international applicant.

Yale won the game!

WOOHOO! GO BULLDOGS!

Guys, I am an international students, and I applied for financial aid. Will they contact me in case they need additional documents—in my country we have different forms?

@colleges321 Yes, if they need something, Yale will ask for it.

Are Yale interviews selective? Cuz in my area, I know 6 people who applied to Yale yet only 3 of us have interview calls (note all of us are internationals and have around 4/5 different interviewers living in the same city). I just found it pretty weird that some of us were called for an interview while some weren’t.

@Arbaz16297 It’s understandable that you’ve not skimmed the other 487 posts of this thread. No, interviews are randomly assigned. Your area simply has run out of volunteer slots or, they were assigned to people who were irresponsible.

It’s not weird but frankly very common – not that you would be expected to know that. It’s a good question but no, there’s no pre-selection of who gets an interview or who doesn’t.

Hey, guys. I wanted to let everyone know that I submitted my application on the 19th of October, and was just contacted for an interview yesterday. I will be having my interview tomorrow! Wish me luck :slight_smile:

@arizonateen Where in arizona are you located? I’m in Tempe and still haven’t been contacted about an interview:/

@DreamforIvy I live in Tucson!

Is anyone considering applying EDII somewhere if they get deferred? At our school, no one has gotten in after getting deferred…

nobody has been accepted from my school in 10+ years haha

I’m against like 3 kids from my grade with 2390’s haha…yikes. I’d definitely be the upset, so we’ll see. Scary stuff guys! Especially because my friend with my stats was accepted last year SCEA because his grade was so much less competitive.

I’m not applying EDII anywhere. But only one kid out of the five that’s ever been deferred has gotten in from my school.

I did not enter my AP scores in Common App. I am planning to submit them as update. How important AP scores in admission decision.

They really aren’t. I just wouldn’t send them ^

Guys I finally got a request for an interview!! Any advice on what questions they may ask? I would greatly, greatly appreciate it.
