Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
That's fair, but I wonder if there is an overarching bias amongst faculty/admissions that some majors are more/less worthy than others.AnonHumanPerson123 wrote:Because of the unique faculty review process, I think it is impossible to make generalizations about the Yale process. All professors likely have their own way of evaluating applicants.KateMcKitten wrote:For Y's black box, is major a big factor?

Not so fast. The existential question here is: who do you want to be (or be with)? Warner, or Warner's older brother? Because that, in the end, is what really differentiates YLS from HLS ...KateMcKitten wrote:Guess I'll see myself out thenGabriel_is_Satan wrote:Well, if you're a fashion major, you^re probably a better fit for HLS ...KateMcKitten wrote:For Y's black box, is major a big factor?

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
I talked to a 3L friend there who had talked to an admissions person and they said the whole schedule was running late this year partially because faculty didn't have time to review the files with all the trump stuff.

Well, this doesn't bode well for the coming ding wave. If they have to start prioritizing, It would make sense to get the admission part right asap, and postpone the WL/reject stuff to late April ...eck456 wrote:

Have the acceptances still been going out only on Saturdays pretty much? It's such a smattering that I don't feel like scraping together acceptances throughout this thread. Thanks

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
The impression I got was some were directly working on anti-trump and travel ban stuff, some were working on political stuff related to the trump presidency, and some were involved with some of the new international relations challenges. I don't think it was all anti, just generally generated by the new administration and the legal ramifications of the appointments, implementation issues, etc. So in general it seemed like a lot of profs just had a bigger non academic workload than normalAnonHumanPerson123 wrote:I suspect only a handful (i.e., minority) of faculty members were busy with all the Trump work though, right?Gabriel_is_Satan wrote:Well, this doesn't bode well for the coming ding wave.

Ok everyone, I visited YLS this week and was able to pick up my YLS snuggie in person. It is as fantastic as advertised (and I am definitely attending now). Sounds like the admissions office is a bit behind this year (it's shocking how few people are involved in reading/sorting all our applications) but snuggies will be sent to all admits this year as in previous years.

Congrats! That is awesome. Did they drop any other hints about admissions, other than they are behind (e.g., when all decisions will be out, how many slots are left, etc.)?navylawhopeful wrote:Ok everyone, I visited YLS this week and was able to pick up my YLS snuggie in person.

Honestly didn't ask much about their process (and I doubt they'd give any specifics). All I'd say is the admissions/administrative staff at YLS has been incredibly kind and helpful. If you have questions, reach out to them!AnonHumanPerson123 wrote:Congrats! That is awesome.

Navy's mention of snuggies was permitted because it accompanied some admissions knowledge
Mentions and/or celebrations of snuggies in and of themselves must be taken to the admits thread, or you will have pretzel to answer to. And if she doesn't hesitate to end a sentence with a preposition to make her point, who knows what else she is capable of.
