Yale SCEA Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

How do we specify in the text box which 2 of the 3 essays we picked to write? I’m just numbering it like “2. blah blah blah” but is that fine?

@y90y90 That’s exactly what I did.

I submitted my application last night! Now it’s waiting for the next two months…

Planning on submitting this coming weekend, I’ve been too scared to do it so far because it’s so final ah! You lose all control when you press submit :frowning:

Does anyone know when they’ll start contacting us for interviews?

@swim1128 I was contacted for an interview 3 days after I submitted my application.

@y90y90 oh okay, thanks!

Where are you guys applying from? Any international students like me? :slight_smile:

Yeah, from Europe

If I’m sending my ACT, should I send SAT 2 scores? Or not bother?

@y90y90 Did they email you? I submitted my application last Wednesday and haven’t heard anything about interviews yet.

@margaret1332 I haven’t heard anything about interviews yet either and I submitted my app a little over a week ago.

@margaret1332 Yes, she emailed me and asked to set up a time. I think it depends wholly on the availability of alum and volunteer interviewers in your area.

I got an email from an interviewer the day after I submitted my app, but she lives in my same town so that probably had to do with why it happened so quick.

@rebecca12345 Yale has clear guidance on when and if to submit SAT2s on its website. It depends.

But there’s no hidden “we say it’s recommended but will squash you if you don’t do it” agenda. I know that for a fact.

Do any of the international students applying need to submit financial statements/bank letters/parental undertaking letters/ passport photocopies? Some universities require these…I don’t think Yale does, but just want to make sure.

No additional info is required beyond documents needed if you plan on applying for financial aid.

Do I need to submit CSS (for financial aid) before the Nov 1st Single Choice Early Action deadline?

Yes

We got an email from Yale saying thank you for creating a CSS profile account as part of your financial aid application to Yale. The email also said, “We suggest that you complete the IDOC process as soon as possible . The recommended deadline for Early Action financial aid applications is November 11. Yale cannot provide estimated financial aid awards to admitted students until IDOC documents are received.” My husband uploaded the documents today.

@omwtocollege230 @gyunnzb where are you guys from in Europe?
