also, what questions did you guys ask your interviewer?
@Capp01 I can’t say for sure because I’m not an admissions officer, but from what I’ve heard, not important at all
Be yourself, I know it sounds kind of cliche but it is the truth. They just wanna know who you are. My interview was on campus with a senior that works in the AO and every single question was about my relationship with those in my lives. They wanted to know how I interacted with the world. In my opinion, Yale is looking for global citizens, someone who will go out and positively impact any community they end up in. They asked what role I play in my family, what role I play in my friend group, which friend has had the most significance in my life, and so on. Don’t force anything, just speak truly and freely, good luck!
thanks! @jhosk10
hey y’all, i applied scea too. i’ve been here since fall of 7th grade (lol), but i’m sure we’ll get through together,
Guys, I sent my financial aid forms today via fax even though the recommended deadline was 11th Nov. Do you think it is okay?
@colleges321 Yes, that’s fine. If accepted, you just won’t get your financial aid package immediately.
Also, my interview went really well! It lasted for two hours
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
I’ve been waiting 24 days and finally received an email this morning about an interview! So if you still haven’t been asked for an interview, you might still get one!
@DreamforIvy I’ve been waiting over a month and I also got contacted for an interview today!
I’m dreading the 15th so much. My parents recently decided Yale was too expensive and so even if I get in, I won’t be able to go there. I don’t know if it will be more heartbreaking to get rejected, deferred, or accepted. I poured my heart into Yale and it looks like i’ll be at a state university in AZ.
Yale has super super financial aid that will help you attend. Prob will cost less than ASU or U of A.
@elijaheliot … have faith.
Chances of Yale being affordable may be better than you think.
Did you run the NPC?
@elijaheliot I definitely understand what you’re saying. It’s hard to stay positive when you know state schools are going to be a great, cheap option, but I think we just need to keep hope.
I posted earlier that I did not receive an alumni interview, but I was just e-mailed today! Since I live in a rural area, I am doing my interview over either Skype or FaceTime. Hope this helps.
I’m so nervous, I just want to get into Yale omg omg omg
Does anyone know when the admission committee assesses the applications? I was wondering about this because my research mentor still has not submitted the recommendation on SlideRoom as he is on a trip for 3 weeks now…
