My only connection to the school is that one of my LoRs is from my professor who graduated from Yale Law. I had to try, though.
Same boat as far as trying without a chance in hell and for the same reason, I'd regret it. Best of luck to ya!

Would be chill if they could start rolling out a bunch of rejections but I suppose they're running behind on those as well.............

Happy Monday!

Coming up on a month since I applied and still haven't gone complete. Is this normal?

I went complete nearly a month after I submitted. Granted, it was over the holidays.

Strange. I submitted in mid-January. Pretty clear that they don't go complete by date submitted, then.

So many outreach emails from Yale in the recent days.... Going back and forth if I should apply or if I would be better off burning $100+ and the time it would take to write a 250 essay :| :roll:

Go for it. Being out 100 bucks and the time it takes to write a 250 is better than regrets wondering, "what if?"

I prefer to think of it as an expensive night out without the hangover.

If he has as good a chance of getting into Yale as winning a bet on black in Roulette, that's amazing odds dude. Especially compared to Yale's acceptance rate. You know how roulette works? :lol:

Seriously though, I was assuming a person who was entertaining the idea of applying to Yale was doing so because they have at least a somewhat decent app to put forth.

I waited about a month to go complete, although to be fair part of that was the holiday season.

Anyone have thoughts on when we might see rejections in significant quantities? Or is that just as mysterious?
