People like you get waitlisted to safeties since the safeties schools think that you won’t go to there school because of how good your application is. You have a freakin 35 act, 1500 SAT and was Valedictorian. Congrats on Brown tho!! 🥳🥳

[@cecilesch]

Thank you sm!:)

[@travismcgee100]

I believe there are two types of Waitlisteds. The first kind are "regular" Waitlisteds who are the students that the college feels could be admitted and could succeed at the college but they don't meet a current "need" of the college (e.g. the proverbial oboe player needed for the orchestra). The second kind are "overqualified" students whom the college would love to have but are worried will turn down an Acceptance which would hurt the college's Yield, the percentage of Admitted students who actually end up attending. So the overqualified are Waitlisted as Yield Protection. I believe "Tufts Syndrome" was used in earlier times to refer to Yield Protection by Rejection; these days, Waitlisting is MUCH more popular among colleges--to the point of being silly. "Silly" because the college KNOWS there will never be an offer of admission to the 10,000th person on the Waitlist, but they do it because Waitlisting is so much easier for both sides (students and colleges) to live with.

will you make a video abt scholarships?

[@cecilesch]

Yeah! I think that is a good idea!

[@shanayamiskin7852]

I really want to attend YYGS but I don't think I can pay the tuition and I don't qualify for need-based aid :(

[@cecilesch]

Shanaya Miskin Id apply anyways because maybe you could get aid-who knows! Also, I’d suggest finding outside scholarships or working at a job maybe too.

[@shanayamiskin7852]

@@cecilesch Thank youu! Your videos are awesome!

[@ahm3d.h]

do you still have to pay money to go to school or are you getting a full ride or something like that

[@citcatz]

For example, If someone that I knew and was very close to my father went to an Ivy League that I would like to go to. Could they recommenced me and if they did, would it increase my chances of getting in?

[@cecilesch]

It depends on the school, your relationship to them, and how much influence they have. I wouldn’t count on it though.

[@citcatz]

Cecile S Thank you for replying! The school is stanford. My father said it would probably help me with getting in but I shouldn’t count on it :)

Are we still able to apply for the Yale Young Global Scholars program ?

[@cecilesch]

For next year the application should open this fall! This summer's sessions got cancelled because of the coronavirus situation, but I am confident they will be able to hold it next summer!

[@rosieaguayo9493]

Cecile S hi! I’m a junior in high school now, would you still recommend me applying for my senior year?

[@cecilesch]

Rosie Aguayo are you going into your senior year? Because usually you do it the summer before your senior year or the summer before your junior year! Because if you do it this summer, it’ll be the summer before college if you are a junior right now going into senior year.

[@rosieaguayo9493]

So I’m a junior in high school going into my senior year this upcoming fall, does that make sense? HAHA😂

[@cecilesch]

Oh shoot sorry just saw this! In that case you probably won’t be able to:( they usually accept people in the summer before their junior or senior year and the deadline passed
