Yale Waitlist 2019

@BellaVenezia Yeah 1098 is correct–typo.

Hi! I’ve committed to Vanderbilt over schools like Brown, UChic, and Duke, but Yale is my top choice! :smiley: Does anyone know when the Yale wait listed students get a notification, and if they get one at all if rejected?

I would like to know too. I can’t find any reliable information. As soon as I hear something I will post.

Last year they sent some emails to let you know the waitlist was closed. This was on May 13, according to responses on last year’s thread. Some guy posted his letter:

Dear [Name],

Thank you for choosing to remain on Yale’s wait list. I am sorry to tell you that a review of the status of our freshman class indicates that we will not be able to give further consideration to your application. Our matriculation rate increased this year, resulting in more ‘yes’ replies than we had expected. I appreciate your patience in awaiting final word on your candidacy.

Thank you for your interest in Yale. I wish you the very best of luck in your undergraduate years.

Sincerely,

Jeremiah Quinlan
Dean of Undergraduate Admissions
Yale University

I thought they took people all the way until June. Knowing the middle of next week would be better. Thanks for that info.

They send in waves I think, so some people might get it later, like in June–but hopefully it’ll be earlier for most of us! The earlier we know, the better.

I just got an email from Dartmouth asking for an update… I hope this is a good sign!!

did anyone get an email from someone at Yale saying they want to talk about your spot on the waitlist? I just did and now im super nervous

My D got off the wait list about an hour ago. Her admission representative emailed saying she wanted to call her regarding “great news.” She was offered a spot. The rep also said about 50 others would be getting great news!

My son just got an email about “great news”. It’s unbelievable! BTW, he is from New Jersey.

What did they say on the phone? Did they ask her to commit on the phone or is there time to decide? Congratulations! I am getting really anxious now! @abcdooo

Wow congrats to all of you!! That’s super amazing :slight_smile:

Here is what my email says:

subject line: news about Yale’s waitlist

message: (my name), good afternoon. I’d like to speak with you about your place on the waitlist. What is the best number to reach you by phone. I will be calling from my home phone which is xxx-xxx-xxxx. Look forward to our call,

(their name)

Is this similar to what your children got? @hzhao2004 @abcdooo

They said she would she would get an admissions packet Monday and the portal will be updated soon. She was not asked to commit on the phone but given her reaction and her wait list campaign, it is clear she will be attending!

wow that’s amazing!!! Congratulations to her and your entire family! That is an amazing accomplishment!! @abcdooo

@biggestsunsfan That is essentially the email we got!

Exactly the same wording.

wow!! Now I am REALLY anxious to receive this call!!! @hzhao2004

@BiggestSunsFan You should be excited!! You’re probably in which is AWESOME!

I GOT IN!!!
