And as the deadline draws closer, I realise I’m probably not gonna make it…
I haven’t finished my essays yet 
is anyone else gonna submit on the day it’s due because it’s also when SAT scores come out? lol
@gdpast323 lol same, that and also because i haven’t finished one of my essays yet…
Are there any sophomores here?
Could someone please specify if transcripts to be submitted should include only mark sheets or is there something else which needs to be uploaded?
@4yearstoapply i am! i don’t have any SAT/ACT/PSAT scores
Any other Canadian applicants here? Also, does anyone know when we find out if we’ve been accepted?
It’s due tomorrow, right? Tomorrow night?
All I uploaded was my transcript and screenshots of Collegeboard scores in a Word doc. I heard that the transcript is all you really need, though. And even that is not incredibly important (although mandatory) because your school uploads an official transcript.
HEY GUYS the application just closed?! Mistake on their behalf- closing time is clearly 11:59 PM EST on 2/11, not 2/10. Can you guys check if the application also just closed for you guys (I just have to submit it/copy/paste essays but the submission period just closed…).
Does anybody know their phone number? I just emailed them but I would like to call them ASAP.
@drakonus The phone number isn’t on their website. I had to email them because I had a question, but it took a while for them to get back. But perhaps they’ll respond sooner just because the due date is soon.
Now I’m worried. One of my teachers still hasn’t uploaded the rec letter even though I submitted the application. Also, my official transcripts are only physical copies, so I had to mail them in, but on the portal when I submitted it, it said that the school official part section was incomplete
Do you guys have an inkling about the selection process? The median SAT score figure a page back is my only hope. I don’t think my essays, recommendations, or ECs are good enough (I’m only officer of one club!). And certainly not the GPA. And unlike college admissions, they won’t get my profile and won’t know just how competitive my school is!
@GrandBudapest Emailed YYGS about the mailing transcripts: you still have to put the contact information in but they won’t check it.
Also here is the automated reply I got: “Thank you for your email to the Yale Young Global Scholars Program. Due to the high volume of emails we are receiving, we may not be able to answer all questions before the application deadline of February 11, 2016.
You may submit your application even if your recommender and/or your school official has not uploaded the recommendation or the tarnscript. Please reach out to your recommender or your school official to remind them to scheck their junk/spam folder in their inbox for the email from the Yale Young Global Scholars Program.
Please visit our Frequently Asked Question page http://globalscholars.yale.edu/frequently-asked-questions for more information.
Warm Regards,
The YYGS Team”
Please please please re-open the submission period YYGS!! <3 <3 <3 Thank you in advance!!!
Yeah I think they closed it by mistake. Mine is not opening either. What I’m concerned about is that in the app selection that shows up at first when you access does not show Yale Young Global Scholars anymore. I hope my data is still alive… God, that scared the hell out of me.
@drakonus
Thank you!
Is your application portal totally closed? (I already submitted mine). If it is closed I’m certain they’ll give an extension since that would be a major mishap on their part.
Oh and they are probably not gonna answer the phone nor the emails until the sun rises… I’d rather choose to work on my essays than trying to contact them until then. 
I finished everything I just need to copy/paste ugh.
Do you guys think it’s a good idea to email them my essays? I completed everything except copy paste my essays.
