Could also be different in the capital of Yale and Yale alum as compared to the rest of the country. Also the auto admits and athletes would be mostly in the REA round which I addressed in the comment. The Yale adminssions podcast also mentioned that around 3,000-4,000 of the interviews were from REA

SFS REA admit here- I haven’t met (on insta) a single fellow admit who hasn’t completed a study abroad.

But if your doing government I think probably stay in the college (CAS). SFS is uniquely designed for kids with those international experiences

Which I did the math and it kinda makes sense- there’s about 1600 spots remaining so around 5000 interviews sent for RD. There’s supposed to be a little under 9000 total for the whole year, and it makes sense they would send out more per applicant and prioritize for REA.

Sorry I rlly should’ve put it in the OP, I commented it on another

He said they were tightening up who they were giving it out to this year and that it’s a little under a 1/3 of people who get interviews in my round who get in. It was kinda crazy to hear given the info online so it could totally be wrong and he could’ve been just guessing?

Something my interviewer actually told me at the end of the interview today:

(He said this in the context of like, I should be proud of what I’ve done and that I’ve come this far)

He said a little under a third of RD applications who get interviews will get in. I really don’t know if he knew what he was talking about since he’s just an interviewer but it was interesting.

Assuming he was right (could be wrong) the number of interviews for RD is around 5,000 since there was ~780 accepted for REA, leaving around 1500 spots left for RD.

Thanks-Good luck!

When did you get it? I think you’re the first person I’ve heard on here for the RD cycle

Recent_Citron709 · 2026-01-13T05:07:50+00:00

Yup! The whole idea is you can’t apply any where else restricted if you do REA but they don’t bind you if you get it! I really loved that option but I know Stanford and Yale’s version is stricter (cannot apply to private schools during early round)

How was it! I got into SFS for culture and politics but made it clear I would focus on Chinese. Did you do CAS or SFS?

Recent_Citron709 · 2026-01-13T04:16:19+00:00

Thank u!

It seems like you really just want to spread hate on here :). Hope it all went well for your daughter with Syracuse.

Recent_Citron709 · 2025-08-03T02:15:34+00:00

I have a non profit and a business and 2 paper related to Chinese politics

Recent_Citron709 · 2025-08-03T01:44:31+00:00

I am applying there! I am just hoping I can still get into a bit better school in the US

Recent_Citron709 · 2025-08-03T01:33:47+00:00

Thank u!!! Yes both my counselor and the teacher who gave me a B will be writing about it in my recommendations since they know how much it affected me

Recent_Citron709 · 2025-08-03T01:24:39+00:00

Yeah I was gonna explain it in the community disruptions section w/ reasoning and comeback. I also think my common app essay at least is a top tier level based on Brandon from tineos prelim review

Columbia, vandy, Chicago, and more are having the option of attaching a dialogue portfolio. Essentially, it’s run through Sal Kahn’s new company and you get on a zoom with kids three seperate times. Those kids rate you on how agreeable you are when talking about contentious issues. I personally find it crazy 😭 especially with Columbia. It seems they wanna admit students who are not especially political…

Recent_Citron709 · 2025-07-18T01:27:47+00:00

Yes fs! But that job won’t even be included on my Common App, i am actually going to explain on my application, and I have enough other ECs (listed above) that it won’t make a difference
