Yale University Early Action for Fall 2023 Admission

Yes that could def be confounder in the poll.

I agree. Being deferred almost seems worse in some ways than outright rejection. I’d want to move on, personally!

As a parent - thank you so much for all the input on this page, it’s been very helpful!

You had an interview for Swarthmore RD already?

We can schedule it by ourselves, and I decided to just do it ahead of time in the summer.

Have any twins interviewed yet for EA? If so, did you both get interviewed or have the same interviewer? Just curious

My son had his interview and in case it’s helpful for anyone I’ll tell you what he told me afterwards. a) His interviewer was extremely friendly and nice, and kept the conversation flowing, b) she asked five questions: 1. ‘tell me about yourself’, 2. ‘Why Yale?’, 3. ‘What do you want to study?’, 4. ‘What are your other academic interests?’ and 5. ‘Do you have any questions for me?’

My impression is that the alumni are sensitive to the fact that the kids are probably nervous and they’re really good at drawing out answers from even the shy ones. If my son can get through it I am pretty sure anyone can!

Anyone from San Francisco Bay Area got interview?

Yeah, they like to probe a bit based on your answers, which can be nice in helping direct the conversation a little less awkwardly.

Yes & interview was done few days back

I have a quick question - how long do IDOC documents take to process? My non-tax filer statement was sent, along with Yale’s confirmation of this in their portal:

However, my parents’ W2 and taxes were not processed yet according to the portal. I’m a bit confused.

3 - 5 business days (M - F)

hi, I’m an intl student and I haven’t received any interview request. I know past accepted students from my school had interviews. Is this really bad? Has the second wave of interview requests been completely sent out already?

If you scroll though the responses above, you’ll see that interviews are really not the deal maker or breaker. Stay positive and good luck to you!

Has anyone from Ontario, Canada (GTA) received an interview? No one from my school ever really applies internationally, let alone the Ivies, so I’m relying on these forums to let me know about interviews and stuff for my region haha

We live in GTA and do not receive an interview. My son applied this year. Would you mind sharing your stats? Are you in public school or private school?
