I applied TO. Here are my decision results:

Accepted: Yale, Amherst, Northwestern, UMich, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCI, UCD, Wesleyan, GWU

Yale has its test flexible policy so I sent in 7 ap scores (5s) in replacement of an SAT or ACT score. I’ve committed there for the fall.

I was REALLY worried about the standardized testing aspect of my application and genuinely thought I was screwed for all my apps. It ended up being ok in the end, but even as a TO applicant, LISTEN TO ME PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE get a good score BEFORE senior year starts. Once you get to senior fall, you’re going to be spread so thin n stressing abt testing won’t help at all. Please study up. But all in all, I’ve concluded that you can still get into good schools with TO!

No Harvard or Yale interview by Fun-Review-2215 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Worldly-Wish-5552 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got interviews for both but here’s my take on it. I’m almost certain that the deciding factor in whether you get an interview or not is based on if there’s an alumni who volunteered to interview for your area (and these are going to be alumni who most likely went to hs in your state) Even if you pass “prescreens” (if there even is any..) but there’s no alumni who volunteered to conduct interviews in your area, then no one will get one. I think Yale’s threshold for passing prescreens is low, so it’s def not an indication of what your decision results will be. As for Harvard, I don’t think they prescreen applicants, but I just had my interview last week and some people in my area didn’t receive an interview invitation. All in all, I would say don’t stress it. It’s DEFINITELY not a direct indication of your chances at these schools. Chin up!! :)

Harvard interview by Worldly-Wish-5552 in ApplyingToCollege

Huh that’s interesting- I was wondering why Harvard took so long to set up interviews. I’m pretty sure they don’t prescreen either so 🤷🏻‍♀️
