For Applicants to the Class of 2017 Affected by Hurricane Sandy

November 5, 2012

The Yale Admissions Office is committed to providing Early Action applicants affected by Hurricane Sandy with accommodations for submitting their application materials. As always, our top priority is to give careful, thoughtful, thorough consideration to every application. The Dean of Admission has outlined the following policies to ensure that students have the opportunity to submit their materials and that the Admissions Committee is able to provide a full evaluation of as many Early Action applicants as possible.

Application Materials

For students directly affected by the storm, we will be happy to accept Early Action applications (the Common Application and Yale Supplement to the Common Application) submitted online or postmarked by midnight Friday, November 9, EST. If it is impossible for you to submit your application online, you may mail it to us by the same deadline. Supporting documents from school officials (teacher recommendations and the School Report) should be submitted as soon as possible, even if individual circumstances prevent officials from sending them by November 9. We will communicate with students from the affected areas by email after November 9 with additional information regarding the review of their Early Action applications.

Standardized Testing

We understand that some Early Action applicants were unable to take the SAT Reasoning or SAT Subject Tests on Saturday, November 3 when their test centers were closed. For students whose test dates have been rescheduled for Saturday or Sunday November 17/18 (or sooner), it is possible (although not guaranteed) that we will receive the results in time for consideration during our Early Action review. Your test results will be displayed on your Application Status page as soon as they have been loaded into our database. Approximately one week after we receive your application, we will send you an email containing Eli Account information that will allow you to access your online status page.

We will do our best to complete your application so that the Admissions Committee can give it full consideration.  If for any reason we feel we are unable to review your file fully in time to provide a decision by mid-December, either because necessary documents or test results are missing or because they arrived too late to receive our full attention, we will consider the application ‘incomplete’ for Early Action. When we issue our Early Action decisions, you will be notified of this designation and also notified that we will consider your application during our Regular Decision process.

Bear in mind that we do not seek to advantage students who happen to apply early to Yale, and that we do not admit students early unless we are certain we would also admit them during the Regular Decision process. In other words, if for storm-related reasons beyond your or your school’s control, we cannot evaluate your application fully in Early Action, we will still give you the same benefit of a thorough and careful review in the Regular Decision process.

Due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy in the eastern United States, the Early Action application deadline has been extended to midnight on Monday, November 5 for students affected by the storm. This applies both to your own application as well as to supporting documents sent on your behalf.
