It's happening on Wednesday at 3 so I'll post here then. So implied Yale rejection for those of us who didn’t get the webinar, do you think?

I honestly don't think so. I got the email. I think if you got flagged by the Office of Diversity as a "diverse" or "minority" student, you got the email. I don't think it's indicative of anything more. jpbends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope! Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Me! Applied to UNC, BU, UMich, Minnesota in AmSt. Applied to a few other programs in a related field. Best of luck to all - and congratulations to those who got accepted already! stressedandconfused and jpbends 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked my advisor and she was surprised about how early it was, but I guess everyone is different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishtea1 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 @swarthmawr i don't think it's an implied rejection if you didn't get the webinar invite. The email is from the Office of Diversity, and I can't recall if the Yale app had an optional diversity statement of sorts... but it may pertain to optional sections that were filled out/ checked off in the app. jusrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnegresswrites Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 did anyone else end up attending the yale webinar?? I was expecting a lot more people, but there was only 100 participants...which makes me wonder if maybe there were only a select few people invited...? maybe I'm just trying to get my hopes up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franker89 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Not sure what the yale webinar is about. I have a friend in the american studies program there and he doesn't recall attending such a webinar nor is that something that he's heard they've been doing the past couple of years. What did they discuss in the webinar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to read too much into it and get my hopes up haha. but the low number of people did kinda throw me off. kp_87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princeleo Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hey! Recently rejected from USC, but also applied to Yale, Harvard, UT Austin, UMich, Brown, George Washington, NYU, U of Hawaii Manoa, and UC San Diego (Ethnic Studies)! Haven't received anything back yet from anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karou Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Thank you @magnegresswrites and @kp_87 for the information on the webinar! It all sounds very confusing, and I understand that you don't know what conclusions to draw from it. Did they give any indication as to when they expect to notify applicants of decisions?

Gatorgoddess Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hi all! I'm new here! Nice to not be alone in this waiting phase! I've applied African American and American Studies at Yale. Looking at past years I think February 15 through late March will be the time period for receiving word. Breathing.... ??♀️??♀️??♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorgoddess Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 @Karou I think Yale decisions will be between 2/15 and late March, based on past year's data on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorgoddess Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 @magnegresswrites I registered for the webinar but couldn't attend due to being on a flight. I think it's a recruiting tool for admitting a diverse class. Yale had a recent "image" problem that I think they are grappling with (napping while black...) jusrain, Karou, magnegresswrites and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halcyonday Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I haven't heard from UT.... actually, I haven't heard anything from any of the AMST programs I applied to so far, only Comms ones. FriendlyNeighborhoodWolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
