Any updates on FB group size? We were at 249 joined + invited iirc, with an expected cap at 280.

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
Considering how few they take off the waitlist, it seems like there's another 25 spots left. Good news for those of us still waiting.potterotter wrote:Currently 202 members, 51 invited.seeprybyrun wrote:Any updates on FB group size? We were at 249 joined + invited iirc, with an expected cap at 280.

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
What are the odds someone waiting since 1/9 is still in Faculty review? Is it possible we're dinged already, or "held" and waiting to see the makeup of march applicants to see if we'll be dinged/admit/WL??

I think the consensus is if your numbers are good, and you aren't out yet, you may have a good shot. We're all reading tea leaves, though.lilitiger99 wrote:What are the odds someone waiting since 1/9 is still in Faculty review?

Yeah, but my numbers are definitely not Yale level, which is why I'm asking haha.

After a waitlist from H, ding from Penn, and scattered t13 acceptances and silence from Y, S and NYU, I'm not optimistic. I like the theory though, and hope it's true...

Idk, I don't know why they'd be holding anyone who didn't make it to faculty review.

1) In Faculty Review currently
2) Out of faculty review and either a 10/12 (likely waitlist) or 11/12 (likely admit).

To those who remain, congrats. Looks like we survived the great ding wave of April, and acceptances are beginning their slow trickle again.

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
Yeah I posted below. My pre law advisor essentially told me applying would be a waste of $$ if I didn't get above a 170, so I've been expecting a ding since January.

Yeah, I mean at this point I feel like it's a ding or WL. Auto admit or FR admit I would have heard back by, and ding I (hope) I would have heard back by. Thank you for your added theory though. It's making the wait more bearable knowing there's a bunch of quality apps out there still.

Asha says in one of her blogs that 12/12 and MOST 11/12 are admits, whereas 10s are waitlisted right?
