How and when will I receive an official decision notification about my application for admission? For students applying to enroll in the fall of , Yale will temporarily suspend the requirement that applicants submit results from the ACT or SAT.
The staff at the admissions office understands that students have many priorities associated with the consequences of the pandemic; completing standardized tests should not be among them. As it has done this year, the Admissions Committee will expect that some applicants will have completed one or more exams and received scores they feel reflect their academic strengths and college preparedness.
Others may be disappointed in their performance but face barriers to registering or preparing for an additional exam date. And some students will simply be unable to complete any exam prior to the application deadline. Applicants who are unable to complete an exam or who choose not to report exam scores will not be disadvantaged. Historically, the rate of admission among early applicants has been higher than the overall admission rate because many of our strongest candidates, from a wide range of backgrounds and interests, apply early.
We therefore offer this advice: Apply for Single-Choice Early Action if you want to receive a decision in mid-December and you are confident of the credentials you will be presenting to the admissions committee early in your senior year.
An Early Action applicant must meet the same criteria for admission as an applicant in the regular pool. A thoughtful college search and a careful assessment of your readiness to present a strong application as early as November 1, are key.
Candidates who need more time, for whatever reason, will be better served by our Regular Decision process. Skip to main content. In this section, we go over the steps to take for different Ivy Day admissions decision scenarios. You got online and caught a glimpse of the word "Congratulations! You did it! You got accepted to your top-choice school!
Once you've spent time congratulating yourself and showing off your acceptance letter to family and friends, it's time to sit down and ask yourself: what now? First off, if you're having any doubts that this is the school you really want to go to, it's perfectly OK to wait until you've heard back from all other schools you applied to Ivies and non-Ivies alike before you make your final decision.
Don't feel pressured to attend this Ivy simply because you got accepted. Think about what you personally hope to gain from your college experience, and then choose the university—Ivy or not! If this top-choice Ivy really is your overall top-choice school and you know you want to go there no matter what, your next step will be to formally agree to attend this school. Before you do this, though, make sure that you've had the chance to discuss costs for this school with your parents or whoever is helping you pay for college and that you clearly understand your financial aid package.
After you've accepted your invitation to attend the school, you can then get started on declining any acceptances you got from other colleges. You eagerly checked your admissions decision from your top-choice school only to be met with a pang of confusion: you've been offered a place on the waitlist.
You don't feel elated but you're not devastated either. After all, getting waitlisted means you could still get accepted. This limbo stage can be tricky to deal with, but if you really want the opportunity to get accepted to your top choice—and you're willing to wait just a little longer— you'll want to immediately accept the invitation to be put on their waitlist.
This will officially keep you in the running for a possible spot in that Ivy League school's newest freshman class. Write a letter to the school letting them know this.
You can include details such as what classes you'd like to take and how you can envision yourself being highly successful there. Ultimately, anything you can do to stress that this Ivy League school is your top choice will reflect positively on you as the admissions committee works its way through the waitlist.
Unfortunately, you'll more than likely not hear back about your waitlist decision until after the decision deadline has passed.
As a result, you should put down a deposit for your second-choice school, even if you haven't yet heard from your top-choice school. This way, if you don't get off the waitlist, you'll still have a spot confirmed at another school you're happy to attend.
Worst case scenario, you get accepted to your top-choice school and lose your deposit money. But, hey, this means you get to attend your top choice! Maybe Ivy Day wasn't an exciting day for you because you got the dreaded rejection from your top-choice school. It's OK to be upset about this —you just found out that you won't be able to attend your dream school.
This is a huge setback, so it's normal to feel sad, angry, and confused. But it's also important to remember that all Ivy League schools are extremely hard to get into , so much so that the vast majority of applicants get rejected. So you're definitely in good company! And getting rejected says nothing about your intellectual ability or academic promise.
Once you've come to accept your rejection, it's time to weigh your options: the schools Ivy and non-Ivy you have been accepted to.
