@MetroHero: feel free to hit me up on reddit. u/TexASS42069. Happy to share my interview questions and chat more. And do a mock interview. I’m doing mocks with the two veterans over the weekend
Damn those school did a big yp on you scorpion
I only applied to two... H and Y
Also everyone has imposter syndrome no matter what school you go to, you’ll be a okay kid
My bad I meant metro, was typing two different thoughts
ooo gotcha.
23:52
when i say this cycle has been crazy
23:52
a lot of personal development for sure
@SquidwardsHouse: do you have ny guess on when the next A wave will be?
23:52
some YP maybe but a lot of it is def culture and the fact that im kjd
23:52
but I was able to send a loci with some pretty significant updates
23:53
hoping it can get me off a waitlist or two. I only sent LOCI to HYS.
I deadass don't think HLS read the LOCI for this wave
Got two friends at UPenn and they love it, hope you get off the waitlist you want by either way you’re solid !
I sent mine on May 1st. Kinda curious how they were able to read it so fast.
23:54
@WhatDoIHaveToLose: yeah I visited and I really loved Penn. If I get into HLS it will be a tough decision. Made some friends at Penn. If I get into YLS though, will be a nobrainer for me.
@GreenJumbledScorpion: did they get back to you with a decision and that’s why ur thinking it was fast??
they gave me a HLS II quick
Can’t imagine it takes them that long to read what, maybe 200 LOCIs?
@MetroHero: same wave as you - that $$ from Penn is nice and idk if hls name makes up for the money you’d potentially miss out from them, Yale on the other hand would make up for any $$ lacking
HLS’s waitlist isn’t THAT big considering the class size. They reject a whole lot more than they waitlist, which isn't the case at a lot of other T14s
I’d just caution that Yale isn’t the silver bullet that people treat it as.
had not thought of it that way.
@GreenJumbledScorpion: take up squidward for interview recs lol you wanna be fully prepared and aware of what can go down
IK, I am just seeing when I will have time.
When’s the interview ? Do they give u a few days or a week ?
For Yale, I worry that people blindly sometimes take it because it’s always been #1 and “no one turns down Yale” without thinking more deeply about whether it’s the right environment for them, or whether the unicorn things it gives you better odds at are even still attainable for any given member of the class. A lot of students were fairly happy, but there was a handful that felt jipped/sold a bag of goods
When I toured it was an “aha” moment where I realized it’s not the vibe for me. It felt like it was arbitrarily put in a random spot and the biggest thing that stuck out to me was when people asked the tour guide how students generally felt the answer was “it’s YLS, we’re all just grateful”
And mind you, at Admitted Students events they are generally trying to put you in contact with the people that ENJOY Yale.
Granted I’d still really consider it if I was fortunate with my stats to get in but I would really take in the factors I felt when touring and thinking if I’d really enjoy the next 3 years there
