Yale Waitlist 2024 Discussion

@kinght likewise. Thanks for the response. best of luck!

@CS1200 you too, GL GL!

Hi guys! Anyone heard anything or got accepted? Just want to know if there’s any hope left lol. I mean normally they just accept people throughout may & june and then at the end before they close it, they reject the rest of the applicants. I wonder if they do the same now or maybe they will wait till the end to accept everyone at the same time?

So now that Yale released their fall plans would there be more movement in the next few weeks? Its one of the worst ones I’ve seen lol the freshmen are only on campus in the fall and basically all classes are online (plus I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ivy League cancels most sports for the year).

Yale told prefrosh that they have until July 15 to request a gap year and that they will reply to all gap year requests by July 22. So we’ll probably receive final decisions around the end of July.

If more students choose to take a gap year, will more students get accepted from the waitlist?

@gohalzh Yes, that’s the reason why Yale extended their waitlist into the summer months

Hello, has anybody heard any news about the waitlist now that requests for a gap year are over?

@pangav2001 No. Yale said they’d either approve or reject all gap year requests by July 22 (a week from the gap year deadline), so we’ll probably be notified shortly after the 22nd.

^^ I’m guessing anyone who gets in will hear by early next week. I think people have to decide if they’re staying on campus by today also but I’m not sure. It’s just getting too late at this point some schools are starting in less than a month.

It is indeed getting too late, but Yale is Yale I guess?‍♂️ Thanks for replying so fast though

Has anyone else’s “View update” button disappeared on the portal?

@pangav2001 Mine did too! I wonder if it means anything — I mean, they haven’t responded to all gap year requests, so they surely couldn’t haven’t figured out exactly who to accept and reject from the waitlist already?

@xlandke
I don’t know; I mean, I’ve heard of somebody who got off like a week and a half ago so maybe they are just being a bit random

@pangav2001 Weirdly enough, the update thing came back for me and is now back to normal with the extended summer waitlisted message instead of the original waitlist message

@xlandke mine came back, but the whole “Further information about the waitlist” section disappeared… I’m really confused as to whether this could mean something

Did anyone’s portal not change?

We got excited for nothing I guess

I have further information about the waitlist but no portal update haha interesting

Yale did approve many (if not all) gap year requests yesterday.
