<p>Well everyone, Yale emailed me back yesterday and confirmed what I had suspected!</p>
<p>If you sent in your secondary school report and high school transcript separately, it prompts an email to be sent saying they are “missing” even though they are NOT. They checked my file and then told me this information!</p>
<p>Good job! anyone here getting anxious knowing how slim the chances of getting accepted are?</p>
<p>so tired of waiting. It’s just frustrating because it’s so impossible to get in, so I’m trying not to find the pros of yale.</p>
<p>I am content with getting denied…but you never know if you do not try! However, I will still feel some level of disappointment when the day arrives, of course. </p>
<p>On the other hand, if I get accepted…I will probably pass out!</p>
<p>^sounds pretty accurate. I am emailing them within the next two weeks in order to get a date of response so I can request a deadline.</p>
<p>@MJG678 please inform us if they give you an official date.</p>
<p>My son was accepted at Yale, initially said “yes,” but then withdrew and is a freshman at another school. Now he’s unhappy and would like to transfer to Yale. Anyone have experience or advice with this kind of situation?</p>
<p>I did the same at another university, and was later told if I wished to attend again I would have to re-apply, but had such good connections in the admissions officer (and my regional admissions counselor) I was told it would be likely I would be accepted… I don’t know how Yale is because they are selective with their transfer process and take rather unique individuals. Him applying never hurts if he really wants to go!</p>
<p>If we are counting down to the 2nd Wednesday in May (when they started releasing last year), ONLY 3 MORE WEEKS!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Similar in the sense of being accepted as a fr, not attending and later transferring. </p>
<p>D1 was accepted to Y but it was before the change in FA policies several years ago and we qualified for very little FA. She turned down Y for a full ride merit scholarship at a top public. Due to some unmet promises concerning the scholarship, other issues and the change in FA, she decided to apply for a soph year transfer and was admitted.</p>
<p>She told me later that if she’d known how few transfers they accepted, she probably wouldn’t have even bothered trying ;).</p>
<p>@entomom, also you’re D1 showed competitive high school stats, and that is very important when applying as a sophomore transfer… Also, being an experienced CC member and mother of a transfer student to Yale, what do you think Yale stresses the most in transfer admissions?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, absolutely true. And that would be the position of the member’s S that I replied to also; although I don’t know if accepting and then matriculating somewhere else would affect transferring. In general, I think that Y adcoms understand how difficult decisions can be for some students and I don’t think they take it to heart that another school was chosen.</p>
<p>I honestly think that for the hand full of seats that they fill every year, they don’t have any particular factor they’re looking for outside of: interesting students who will contribute something special to their class and who can do the work.</p>
<p>In the 3 yrs that D1 was at Y, transfers tended (there were exceptions) to come from other selective privates or publics, as well as the military academies and Deep Springs. This is in contrast with S which seems to accept a significant number of CC and NT transfer students. </p>
<p>Best of luck to all of the Y transfer applicants for Fall 2012!</p>
<p>Extremely useful information! Thank you @entomom! Now, we all just have to sit tight and wait for all of our decisions.</p>
<p>2.5 weeks if admissions abides by past decision dates.</p>
<p>2 weeks 2 weeks 2 weeks</p>
<p>^lol. yes!!! that means we only have 2 weeks till decisions starts…and finals for me, oops</p>
<p>hopefully in 2 weeks from today we will all receive acceptance letters early in the morning! </p>
<p>I am being cautiously optimistic though.</p>
<p>Every once in a while I stop and ponder what my reaction will be…then tell myself to stop thinking about it and just see what happens!</p>
<p>called admissions today… they said 2nd week of May around May 10th, probably the 9th.</p>
<p>O…m…g…</p>
