<p>I remember having seen an old Yale app that required the common app EC short answer, personal statement, and a longer EC essay also (and I thought Harvard was the same). Looking at this year's, I only see the common app short answer and personal statement. Did I not see the longer EC essay, or is that one gone?
Also, I know applying from states like New York and California are a bit of a disadvatage, but are places like NM/AZ/UT a help, or is it only super unpopulated places like North Dakota? (kind of a dumb question, but I just wondered) </p>
<p>Thanks
