What Happens to Your Application After You Submit?

The admissions process can seem like a mysterious black box. Your application goes in one side and, a few weeks later, a decision comes out the other. At Yale, real people make decisions at every stage of review, and every student is admitted by a committee. Hannah and Mark walk through each step in an application’s journey from data download to initial review, area reading, second reading, and committee deliberation. They explain the “who” “what” and “how” of each stage. For a quick overview of Yale’s process visit https://admissions.yale.edu/step-by-step.
