I'm confident in my gpa/test scores, but I know that for programs of this caliber, stats represent only one small component of the application.

bkscholar Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I applied! Trying to keep my cool as we wait, because the Jackson MA is my dream program. A month to go until we find out! Yass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keurimja Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 In case it's helpful to anyone, according to previous Yale Jackson threads I came across (2016, 2017, 2019), the decisions release date has consistently been March 7th/8th.

bkscholar Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 If GSAS goes by the timeline that @keurimja noted, I think we might find out this Thursday/Friday! Anyone else a nervous wreck while waiting? NikkiG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justaname Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The waiting is killing me. I hope we can hear by the end of this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polapp20 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yeah I thought we would hear by now. This week has been the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keurimja Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hmm I just logged into the Yale application portal and saw that all my application information had disappeared (documents received, instructional text, etc.). Wonder if that means anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keurimja Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Checked again and I was dinged. Good luck to everyone else! I suspect that my lack of directly relevant post-grad experience, foreign language proficiency, and last-minute application were among the most significant contributors to the decision I received. It was still worth a shot nonetheless. Edited March 4, 2020 by keurimja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
