Yale University Early Action for Fall 2023 Admission

Congrats to all who got accepted and deferred. Tough luck to those who didn’t get in. You’ll land where you’re supposed to be

My son has his winter concert tonight so he can’t look until we get back from that. He had to be at the performance hall at 5. I can see his portal. There is no checklist under admissions but all the financial aid items checklists are there.

So nerve wracking.

Maybe we can lay to rest the belief of a URM “hook”. If you’re at Yale, it’s because you’re a rockstar, no matter the ethnicity. Bravo to all those accepted. You’re amazing.

shocked at the deferral. Hooks are a real thing AND your kid is a rockstar. I’m sure he will land somewhere amazing (maybe even Yale, it’s only a deferral).

Accepted.
I got the 9 digit SID number from a Financial Aid email and was accepted. This is another data point for the SID theory.

So, the theory about SID is indeed true. Pretty much everyone who received a SID, got in. :clap::clap:

Beware of first time posters of few words with relatively low test scores and acceptances at single digit schools.

Just saying!
