<p>Does anyone know what the status is of the supplement? When you go to common app it states that it is not yet available. On the Yale site (under the paper option) there is a file but their is no year indicated in the document. Is this the supplement or is it still to come?</p>
<p>I don't think it is available but these things don't change much from year to year. Expect to write another essay of no more than 500 words -- and I think they'll prompt you to write about something that you hadn't shared elsewhere in your app.</p>
<p>I guess I didn't miss anything then. Thanks</p>
<p>When I went to the info session, the admissions officer said that the supplement will be available sometime in August and that the essay will be something along the lines of "share an interesting outlook or something we don't already know about yourself."</p>
<p>We'll keep that in mind. Hopefully it will be out soon. Thanks</p>
<p>There's that essay, almost verbatim what AmibitiousMind07 said; they also stressed the 500 word limit more heavily than the common app did. The other question asks "Why Yale?" in under 300 characters. That was the most difficult for me, trying to cram everything in there without resorting to very basic, repetitive sentence structure. Good luck =)</p>
<p>Thanks for the info</p>
