Yale SCEA Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

I have like 12 unfinished supplemental essays that I keep pushing off because they won’t matter if I get in but I know I need to do them so I won’t be rushing to finish in 15 days if I don’t get in.

@elijaheliot same!

Same x.x 4 more colleges

I wrote my Princeton supplement… I think it’s amazing. lol. Time to reuse!!!

how many colleges are you guys applying to total?

@bssurly Probably 14 total; 7 total if a miracle occurs on Thursday (3 already submitted including Yale)

@bssurly 14 if the expected deferral/rejection comes Thursday. If not, I’ve already submitted four + Yale but I’ll probably still do two or three more, so eight.

Hey, I’ve been finishing up apps for some other colleges, and I came up with a common app essay that’s so much better than the one I submitted to Yale. Do you guys think I’d be annoying if I tried to get them switch me to RD? Is it too late?

@17moonshine - IMHO it is not worth trying to change that now. Hold on to it - just in case you need it after the decisions.

@MedSciBud thanks! Do you know what way would I be able to utilize it later?

Hey guys, thought it was time for me to join this thread! Been a long-time lurker. Best of luck to us all!

@bssurly Besides Yale, I’m applying to 8 other colleges. 5 already submitted, 3 left to go.

@17moonshine - I don’t mean to discourage you, but I was suggesting that in case you get deferred to RD, you may be able to submit this as an additional essay. But good luck for you to get accepted.

@MedSciBud okay that’s what I was thinking. Thanks

Did the link actually work for anyone?

8, including Yale. I’ve only got one more left to apply to… Harvard. Lol

I’m applying to 10! I submitted my last application a couple of weeks ago but I still have a bunch of scholarships to apply to lol

@swim1128 It most likely won’t work for anyone because why would Yale make the same mistake twice, but if it does, it’ll probably only work a few hours or one day before December 15th.

@y90y90 thanks, I was getting real nervous ahhh I can’t wait till decisions

If I don’t get in I will probably apply to another 7 but if I do the only other school I’d consider is Johns Hopkins, but I’m still unsure.

@swim1128 ikr I’m not even that superstitious but I started researching which horoscope websites were the most reputable to see if I could get any insights lol
