Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017) Forum

I've come to the conclusion that I won't be hearing back until April 30th at the earliest. I am not pleased about it. Release me, Y............

There haven't been any decisions released in nine days. Last cycle, decisions were released at a minimum of every seven days starting in mid-February.

Hopefully there are some more decisions soon!

They've been a little behind this cycle from the beginning so I wouldn't worry about it. Theres still ~90 spots left

Any reason for them being a bit slower this year? Or is it just a random thing?

Lower LSAT scores?

Are we even sure that they are behind this year? I just checked the C/O 2019 thread, and the FB group size was reported as 168 (12 less than the current count) on 3/7/16.

12 = 5% of admits. Not that much behind, I guess. One wave, maybe?

It would actually mean that they are further along this year than they were at this time last year.

No, we are 12 admits ahead this cycle.

E: scooped.

Yup. My bad.

3/4

3/4

Ah, interesting. I initially misread it as 2/25. Looks like they are back to their habit of sending out decisions over the weekends?

Does anyone know if the YLS admissions office closes over their spring break (which is next week)?

[sadie2law]

i'm pretty sure i've aged 10 years in the three months since i applied

Probably not, would be my guess, but they're dependent on profs reading the files at this stage, so not sure if spring break will slow thiings down (or maybe the opposite?)

Harvard doesn't close, unsure about Yale

I want all my TLS friends to get in so we can be IRL friends

Speaking of which, congrats to all who have been accepted so far. I'm excited about seeing you in New Haven next year. If you have any questions to ask a student who isn't being paid to sell the school to you or just want to meet a friend IRL on here, shoot me a PM.

Also, H released 2017-2018 COA and its 10k more than Y per year.

Fingers crossed for a wave today!

As much as I hate the idea of being $300k in debt, the COA difference definitely makes sense. Boston is a much more expensive place to live than New Haven.

Any news on that matter? There should be a wave pretty soon ...

There was a wave last year on the second Saturday of spring break (3/19), so I doubt they're closed during spring break. Does that mean chances are good for next Saturday? We shall seeee...

There was also a wave on the first Saturday of spring break last year (3/12), but it was a rejection wave.

Keeping us realistic with the best and worst scenarios. I like it.

Yale 73 - Harvard 71 (Men's basketball, Ivy Semi-Final). I have decided I want to do an entire NCAA tournament bracket based on law schools.

Honestly at this point even a rejection would be a relief. I just want to move on with my life.

Really?? I'd rather keep the hope going, I know I'll be very disappointed once I get the rejection email.
