Every school reads an applicant's essay 2-4 times during the review period. That's the norm. Therefore, you are just killing yourself with anxiety by even worrying whether Yale even gets to read your application once.......

Nink,
You've been there, seen it all

you know what applicants go thru... No updates on the status page.. No interview invites yet and there is an open statement that "we send interview invites till the decision date" - this situation leaves me (and may be many others too but i choose to speak for myself) to think "worst of all - a Reject or may be something else better than reject" on the decision date. The second option - well, it leaves me anxious.
anyways, i'll get to know about it in less than a day... that brings me to the next question - will Yale give feedback on rejected applications?
