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?

I have been told that in the past, YSOM will provide feedback after R3 decision date if the rejected applicant asks for one. I think people have to wait until one of the summer months when the admissions office is free again.

Also, one of my fellow applicants from last year was WLed at Stanford without interview. He had awesome stats. I have never seen WL without interview at YSOM but it does happen at other schools. I have no idea what it means, personally.

Hello First Rounders,

I know you're all anxiously awaiting your admissions decision. We'll begin releasing decisions within the hour and will continue to do so until this evening.

If you were recently invited to interview or are awaiting an off-site interview match, you'll receive an email later today regarding your application status.

Thanks,
