Yale c/o 2019 Applicants (2015-2016) Forum

Lol @clovis

They just tweeted about wrapping about late calls... Not wholly unrealistic given that they could still be calling West Coast ppl and more likely to pull late nights at the office since it's the end of the season

There have been a couple of times now that people have commented (at a very late hour) that they haven't tweeted about finishing calls and then a few minutes later, they do. Methinks Asha has push notifications or something about TLS yale thread posts.

Oh I know that they read this website for sure, but I'm not that convinced they check it out daily or even weekly. At any rate, they've got no reason to have to post a "calls finished" tweet every night other than meticulous consistency.

Well that was an emotional roller coaster. Can we start keeping track of rejection/wait list waves?

[clovis]

The closing tweet is timestamped 8:42 pm, yet it didn't appear until close to midnight. There is actually a consistent delay of about three hours on all of their tweets. You can see that for any recent tweet, the timestamp will be three hours behind the notification on the main page of how many hours ago it appeared. Some brave person needs to tweet back at them and alert them to this.

There has only been one wave of rejections. There are usually only two in the whole cycle. The next one probably won't be until about 4/15. Waitlists will also all come at that time.

Thank you! Was definitely borderline incoherent with excitement when I got the call

Not to be a downer, but last year there was also a rejection wave on April 1, followed by the WL and rejects around the 15th. Some of us will be put out of our misery soon enough.

Oh that's right, there were two waves and then a third one around the 15th. But this year's first rejection wave was so much later than last year's.

Dare we ask for a Facebook update? O god I don't wanna know.

[spammingrobot]

I hope I get my decision soon, no matter what the result is... I've been complete since early December and Yale's the only school I've been waiting on for about a month now.

[mdnyc]

Does anyone think there will be any more decisions before Friday 4/1 or the weekend? Wondering how many spots are left.

I'm pretty sure we'll hear on Friday, since there's historically been a wave around April 1. However, we did have a late first rejection wave (3/12 instead of 2/12), so there's a chance we may not hear until the final wave around April 15.

217 members, 28 invited

I think that a few of the members are staff + a few current students, but that number likely doesn't total more than 5.

[EnderWiggin]

Doesn't sound like too many of those still being held from early in the cycle (including the FR-11 club?) will be admitted this year

Yeah, ouch. I applied pretty late, but still not holding out much hope.

[spammingrobot]

If the facebook group includes people who deferred their admission in previous cycles, would that mean that there are still a bunch more spots? If it's the case that 250-260 new offers are made each year, then there could still be 20+ spots left.

[SamuelDanforth]

The FB group includes at least one student who deferred. I can't speak to whether it includes all of them.

[mdnyc]

Pretty sure this impending sense of doom is finally going to be resolved.

[birdstheword]

There's a housing spreadsheet as well via Facebook with multiple deferrers in there

[Jasondigs]

Last of the Lurkers. Still waiting for Yale, Harvard, and Stanford. Full ride at U Chicago and respectable dollars from Columbia. Never thought I'd have to wait this long.

[williamtell]

Same here. Still waiting for H/Y/S. I assume they will probably all be wait lists. Would just like to get this over with. Hopefully by end of week.
