Tough day for YLS apps

WhisperingNuttyPiglet

15:27

I also interviewed with Sarah and she didn't let me ask any questions. Glad to hear I wasn't alone haha

AcousticMessyBunny

14:27

just to add to people's reports - I also had an external interviewer, she was v nice and took lots of notes - she let me ask questions but warned me she might not be able to answer them v fully

CivisRomanus

10:41

Last two weeks we've seen people get ii invites within 7-10 or even 4 days of going complete. Any hunches on what this could indicate about the process? Seems different than the last view under the hood we got in the podcast episode with KH and MI from spring '23.

CivisRomanus

10:42

KJ not KH* (HLS admis. dean)

NiceKindlyBluebird

14:40

Considering the rapid iis recently, safe to assume those who haven't received ii and went complete before thanksgiving won't?

CivisRomanus

15:51

In my mind, theres eithewr a random algo assigning the iis

CivisRomanus

15:52

or you get like a first review and that person can recommend ii or not, only way it could happen that quick

OneChildlikeCalf

Uggggggghhhhhhhhh.

Any idea when those of us who interviewed back in Nov/Dec will start to receive decisions?

There will probably be some today.

exceptionalvegetable

early dec applicant over here who's been passed over in the jan and feb rejection waves but no ii — any speculation as to what they're up to with me?

TheDamnedestPostmaster

11:06

vegetable - its really hard to know. Don't assume you're out of the running though until you get a rejection. The consultants say they can predict outcomes pretty well, but never timing

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

18:02

Supposedly they'll interview anyone they

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

18:03

*they're considering admitting (starting this cycle). Looks like IIs stopped going out several weeks ago, so I'd venture a guess that anyone who hasn't interviewed at this point is getting a WL or an R. But obviously there may be some waitlist movement (but not much lol, it is YLS).

Skytrash

Whats going on today w Yale???

IamNotTheFather

15:23

"Supposedly they'll interview anyone " They don't say that on their website

IamNotTheFather

15:24

It says that they will interview candidates they are interested in, but it doesn't say that it is a requirement to get an A.

Ginger237696

Was really expecting a wave today, are they maybe done?
