Episode notes
Use Yale's Self-Report Fields
- If your chosen scores aren't elsewhere in the application, use the provided Yale-specific fields to self-report them.
- You may submit self-reported scores or official agency reports; either suffices initially.
Explain Unusual Testing Circumstances
- Use the optional context box to explain unusual testing circumstances.
- Give details (illness, school changes, traumatic events) so reviewers interpret scores fairly.
Scores Complement Transcripts, Not Replace Them
- Admissions always pairs test scores with the high school transcript for context.
- Scores help fill gaps or demonstrate both depth and range across academic areas.
