I'm going to let it sit and go back and revise it tomorrow.
It's a subject which I find interesting, but I wonder if it's one that many people have written about?
Hopefully that won't be counted against me.

Re: Yale 2011 applicants
Haha I have been trying to write a 250 for the past 4 months.
"Trying"=I was trying back in November/December, have largely given up now. But maybe by the end of this week, if only to get my mom and bf off of my back about it.

Re: Yale 2011 applicants
I haven't gotten a complete email. My UG sent in their form a couple weeks ago. Should I be worrying or does Yale generally take some time before going complete?

Re: Yale 2011 applicants
This is very good to know. My undergrad Dean's Cert will be coming from Asia (just Fedexed the form yesterday), and I was a bit worried it might not make it to Yale in time.r6_philly wrote:The deadline is only a submission deadline, not a complete deadline.jcn4 wrote:Is this true?

Nope served directly, along with court papers. They are suing all dinged applicants for damages for wasting their time.123kl wrote:Be mailed out Friday/Monday?lzyovrachievr wrote:Check out the twitter, guys:

Re: Yale 2011 applicants
My app was received 1/4, and I just sent an email to see whether anything from my end (e.g. dean's cert) was holding it up. Got an auto-email back saying that they couldn't respond to individual queries. Do I call? Website says no calls, but auto-email said calling was OK. Not sure where that leaves me ...
(BTW: Undergraduate and graduate deans sent their certs in late October, more than a couple of months before I submitted my application.)

1) It takes a long time to receive an app completed e-mail.nicola6 wrote:My app was received 1/4, and I just sent an email to see whether anything from my end (e.g. dean's cert) was holding it up.

2) That is an automatic response regarding the enquiries. FTR, I sent an enquiry regarding the Dean's Certs and in which cases I needed to send them, and they replied a few days later.
So I guess I wouldn't have e-mailed, but now that you have, I'd at least wait a couple days before calling.
