Yale Waitlist question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

Hi y’all!

I was waitlisted from Yale and from looking around, I saw that it was often recommended to email an update to the admissions dept after being waitlisted, but I am unsure exactly who to email. Should I email the apply.questions@yale.edu email, use the update admissions form on the Yale admissions portal, or email my local admissions officer.

Thanks

I’m a bit old fashioned and prefer an actual letter sent by the USPS rather than emails, as it demonstrates more of an effort on the applicant’s part. But, I suppose an email would work just fine. You can find the name of your regional Admissions Director by looking at the very bottom of this site: http://admissions.yale.edu/staff. From the pull down menu, select your COUNTRY, STATE and CITY and the website will give you the name and email of your Regional Admissions Director.

Not to hijack the thread, but where would one mail it to if they were to do that @gibby .

@ReadyForTheWind @gibby
It says on that link not to send updates to your individual officer. Btw hi! I was waitlisted too!

@Jewelz4 Yeah I noticed that haha.

Sorry, I didn’t know about not emailing your Regional Admissions Director directly. FWIW: Yale Admissions postal address is

So if I still wanted to email, yet shouldn’t email my local admissions director, then who?

^^ I guess to: apply.questions@yale.edu, but I would call Yale Admissions to confirm that is indeed the email they want waitlisted students to use. Yale Admissions’s direct telephone is: 203.432.9300

@ReadyForTheWind Also, at the very bottom of the confirmation email you get for accepting your position on the waitlist, there is a phone number that is different from what gibby listed

Also, if anyone would be willing to read my letter to Yale admissions and offer feedback, that would be great! I know that it is certainly a longshot, but I’d at least like to try. hmu and I’ll PM it to you
