Current numbers are 162 members, 49 invited, 1 admin.

My sentiments exactly. At least we're in the same endlessly waiting boat.Gabriel_is_Satan wrote:Woaw. I went complete end Feb/early March. This is going to take forever ...isthisausername wrote:complete end of january-ish.

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
TBH I feel a lot more okay being patient after seeing that pic Asha tweeted showing her next to that enormous stack of files she reads every week. No wonder we have to wait so long. I submitted around 2/20, complete in early march. I have a feeling I'm gonna need to draw on that patience....

I remember a different photo on her twitter feedHonestlyThough wrote:TBH I feel a lot more okay being patient after seeing that pic Asha tweeted showing her next to that enormous stack of files she reads every week.

But yeah, I'm not blaming anyone for the long waiting period either, I get it. I'm just complaining that it's long. Very very productive, as you can see

Just to note, last year's LSN data would suggest there will be a big acceptance wave early April.

Is it likely that anyone who went complete before February is WL/reject at this point?

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
When I looked through the LSN data there was a number of Jan applicants who were accepted in the early April wave. I think for everyone that hasn't been rejected yet, their application is still in play.AnonHumanPerson123 wrote:Is it likely that anyone who went complete before February is WL/reject at this point?

Not necessarily. Their system has much more variance, all it takes for a bunch of applications to be delayed (compared to similar apps that went complete around the same date) is one prof who reads his/her stack at a slower rate than average.AnonHumanPerson123 wrote:Is it likely that anyone who went complete before February is WL/reject at this point?

I think almost all people who went complete before January are prob WL/reject, but I def wouldn't say people before Feb would be out.Gabriel_is_Satan wrote:Not necessarily.

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
At the risk of my posts on this thread getting increasingly more doomsday-ish, yeah, it seems that way. I know the entire cycle is late this year, but I'm pretty sure they started ding waves March 12 last year? I'm at least hoping to be able to scratch this off the list by April.pretzeltime wrote:I think almost all people who went complete before January are prob WL/reject, but I def wouldn't say people before Feb would be out.Gabriel_is_Satan wrote:Not necessarily.

What is the latest date one could hear back? Is there a concrete cutoff date?

Since I didn't apply until the very last day the app was open (:lol:) I am pretty clueless about the Yale process (if there is anything to know anyway). Does how quickly your app goes complete mean anything at all? I went complete 1 week after applying, which seems like a pretty fast turnaround (for Yale). But maybe it means nothing. Just curious!

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
I don't think the length it takes for your app to go complete is predictive of anything. That said, due to the big disparities in how long it has taken apps to go complete, I do think everyone should be using their "Complete Date" as the gauge for how long they have waited for a decision (instead of "Submission Date").airwrecka wrote:Since I didn't apply until the very last day the app was open (:lol:) I am pretty clueless about the Yale process (if there is anything to know anyway).

Any update to the FB group, since it was 212 (members + invited + 1 admin) on Saturday?

Still 212 (167 + 44 + 1) though it shows several people who've been added since SaturdayAnonHumanPerson123 wrote:Any update to the FB group, since it was 212 (members + invited + 1 admin) on Saturday?

Interesting. Does that mean that people have left the group? Or just that folks who were invited to the group actually joined the group?hammy393 wrote:Still 212 (167 + 44 + 1) though it shows several people who've been added since SaturdayAnonHumanPerson123 wrote:Any update to the FB group, since it was 212 (members + invited + 1 admin) on Saturday?

Pretty sure it just means that they joined the group after having been invited. When you join it doesn't show your invite date as the added date, it uses the date you actually acceptedAnonHumanPerson123 wrote:Interesting. Does that mean that people have left the group?

For Y's black box, is major a big factor? Like, are some majors given more weight and somewhat act as an extra soft (or, on the flip side, are some majors seen as detriment)?

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
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?

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? Like, are some majors given more weight and somewhat act as an extra soft (or, on the flip side, are some majors seen as detriment)?
