Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right thread - if someone's got a better one for me to look for please direct. But I've been following (and sharing) in the wait anxiety for Yale so I thought I'd post here...
Is it considered inappropriate to inquire about the status of an application (eg, Yale R2) and to mention that we are facing the prospect of placing deposits at other schools while we wait to hear about potential interviews/dings? My instinct is not to bother the admissions staff who probably have their work cut out for them right now, but some of my friends think it is worth throwing out to them and may prompt an interview invitation or faster review (or in worst case, a reply that they just can't project my timeline)
Alternatively, what do people think about contacting a school you've been admitted to and asking for more time before being forced to pay the deposit or decline? I'd like to keep as many options open as possible but the deposits will add up even faster than the application deposits, school visits, and materials combined...
