DamianD Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Has anybody already heard something from Yale? I'm asking because I saw this result: Yale UniversityComputer Science, PhD (F11)Interview via E-mail on 1 Feb 2011U2 Feb 2011requested to have a phone/skype interview And I haven't heard anything from them yet, but haven't seen any other messages either...
bedrich Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 where did you get the info. about an interview? haven't heard anything from them as well. Same F11 CS PhD here. yale's always been a long shot especially considering the small department size.
DamianD Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 It was on the results page. Do you know what their acceptance rate is? I couldn't find any statistics.
tangrinka Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 It was on the results page. Do you know what their acceptance rate is? I couldn't find any statistics. Not too optimistic CS: http://www.yale.edu/...uterscience.pdf Grad School: http://www.yale.edu/...duateschool.pdf
DamianD Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Not too optimistic CS: http://www.yale.edu/...uterscience.pdf Grad School: http://www.yale.edu/...duateschool.pdf 3/175 is just crazy....
Ron! Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 3/175 is just crazy.... I wonder how many were admitted to yield those three enrollments.
DamianD Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 I wonder how many were admitted to yield those three enrollments. You mean how many got accepted but declined the offer? Ron! 1
bedrich Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 didn't you guys realize this when you were applying? Ron! 1
Ron! Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 You mean how many got accepted but declined the offer? That's what's missing here, yes. didn't you guys realize this when you were applying? I didn't apply there, but that was because school shut down its network over winter break, and I lost the chance to get my recommendations in on time. I don't have a particularly competitive profile, though, so it would have been just flushing money down the toilet anyway.
DamianD Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 didn't you guys realize this when you were applying? Haha no man, I didn't you know it was all last-minute with me
tangrinka Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I wonder when they will start sending out notifications... Anyone?
bedrich Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 this waiting game is just pathetic. i was going to say it's actually best to be pessimistic- you know - expect the worst (a reject) and then any good news is just a gift? but then i read this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12480310 and decided it might actually be a better idea to pray for the best and keep your spirits up. Good luck everyone! and stay positive!
OH YEAH Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I got into Yale last year. There were 8 people at the visiting day. I think out of those one accepted the offer.
Cevo Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I got into Yale last year. There were 8 people at the visiting day. I think out of those one accepted the offer. when was the visiting day?
OH YEAH Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) when was the visiting day? March 23rd. And I was wrong: there were 7 people who attended, and 2 that accepted out of those. Edited February 18, 2011 by OH YEAH
DamianD Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 when was the visiting day? This year it is: Prospective Student Days/Tuesday, March 22nd and Wednesday,March 23rd
chasehusky Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I got into Yale last year. There were 8 people at the visiting day. I think out of those one accepted the offer. Out of curiosity, what was your CV like when you applied last year, assuming you applied to the Ph.D. CS program? The reason I ask is because I heard, through a post-doc in another department, that journal/conference publications aren't given an incredibly high weight in the admissions decision process, which seems incredibly counter-intuitive. chasehusky 1
chasehusky Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Another thing to add to my above post: It was on the results page. Do you know what their acceptance rate is? I couldn't find any statistics. What results page are you talking about? The only one I'm familiar with is the application page: https://www.yale.edu...ply_online.html which only gives the progress of your application, i.e., not started, started, and submitted, and when the necessary documents, i.e., transcripts, test scores, and recommendations, were also received. chasehusky 1

I'm pretty sure he means the results page here, on gradcafe: http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=computer+yale&t=a&pp=25 tangrinka and chasehusky 2
chasehusky Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Has anybody already heard something from Yale? I'm asking because I saw this result: I called up the department registrar and was told that rejection/acceptance postings should be up by tonight on the ApplyYourself website. Here's wishing luck to everyone that applied!
networking Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I called up the department registrar and was told that rejection/acceptance postings should be up by tonight on the ApplyYourself website. Here's wishing luck to everyone that applied! Has anybody checked the decision status through the website? I cannot find the link.
