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 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
NikkiG Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I applied as well! It's a long shot but stranger things have happened.
keurimja Posted February 13, 2020 Author 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. Hoping for the best bkscholar 1

bkscholar Posted March 2, 2020 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

justaname Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 The waiting is killing me. I hope we can hear by the end of this week.
polapp20 Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Yeah I thought we would hear by now. This week has been the worst.
keurimja Posted March 4, 2020 Author 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?
keurimja Posted March 4, 2020 Author 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

But you've got some incredible choices. HKS is coming next week - fingers crossed for you! I‘ll have to see what HKS has to offer. I would love to do a MPP/JD at Yale if HKS does not work out.

bkscholar Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 I am in! OMG. That is all I can think for now. Congratulations to everyone else who was accepted, and to those dealing with the pain of rejection, hang in there and best of luck with the rest of the decisions!
