bedrich Posted February 14, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron! Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 3/175 is just crazy.... I wonder how many were admitted to yield those three enrollments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron! Posted February 16, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangrinka Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I wonder when they will start sending out notifications... Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedrich Posted February 18, 2011 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH YEAH Posted February 18, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasehusky Posted February 22, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasehusky Posted February 22, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasehusky Posted February 24, 2011 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
