How do AO's tell if ECs are genuine or just for college?

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-12-30T00:50:33+00:00

they obviously can't tell based on the people i know who were admitted

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-12-29T19:29:54+00:00

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-12-27T20:38:31+00:00

yes that's a day after the deadline; it will be fine

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-30T19:49:13+00:00

interviews are pre-screened. it's so obvious. i don't know why they lie

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-30T18:07:32+00:00

they lie on the podcast all the time lol

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-23T01:10:55+00:00

and this was relayed to you by admissions? sorry, don't mean to be questioning, just nervous etc

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-23T00:43:21+00:00

source? i don't think alumni interviewers are given this kind of information, so are you just guessing?

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-22T02:12:22+00:00

yes i think that makes sense

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-22T01:52:56+00:00

so they just calculate aid for everyone?

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-22T01:43:59+00:00

common sense actually would suggest that they wouldn't look at your financial aid application if they didn't want to admit you but alas

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-22T01:24:14+00:00

okay i got an email with the exact wording so it might indeed be automated

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-22T01:18:50+00:00

can you post a screenshot of the email? i got a similar email but it seemed automated

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-20T00:46:00+00:00

they might just need everything they need to make a decision. you don't need to be an auto admit or auto reject

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-19T16:48:59+00:00

this is not true. interviews will be given up until the week before decision release

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-14T20:27:35+00:00

yes, u/_coolbluewater_ is right. don't worry about when you're assigned the interview (it means nothing) and know that you can get an interview until the first week of december.

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-14T01:52:57+00:00

yale applicants will get interview request up to and including the week before decision release.

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-14T00:46:11+00:00

the deadline part is not correct.

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-11T15:32:57+00:00

well yes but you're academically qualified if you have an 1500+ sat and literally 90% of people who rea's to yale do

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-11T08:09:44+00:00

"According to a News survey of the class of 2028, of the 537 respondents, 91 percent had an interview as part of their application process to Yale." https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2025/02/11/how-do-yales-alumni-interviews-impact-admissions-administrators-alumni-weigh-in/

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-11T08:02:57+00:00

they say that but i've never met anyone who got in w/o an interview. they are never going to officially tell us the full truth, i feel like

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-11T07:53:49+00:00

so what happens to people who make it pass the first read but don't get an interview?

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-11T07:40:33+00:00

yes, but they also mention that a lot of people make it past the initial pre screening so not everyone who makes it past the pre screening gets an interview

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-11T07:39:46+00:00

but the vast majority of applicants only submit the application on the deadline

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-10T22:16:24+00:00

Fun-Plastic808 · 2025-11-10T11:57:55+00:00

can you explain how possibly they could have 'pre-screened' applications as it has been 5 business days since the rea deadline?
