<p>Kudos to all who got accepted, and hopefully I'll be seeing you in 2008! If not, well-- congrats anyway =)</p>
<p>Congrats to Skrugger, Halcykon, and edm!!! :DDD So lucky!</p>
<p>Mr.Tubbz-- you guess? lol, that is still very good! There is still much hope. Congrats!</p>
<p>Collegehopeful--That's okay ^_^ Sounds like you still have great schools who'd love to have you. I'm sure you're still an awesome student, and will be successful no matter where you go! :)</p>
<p>I am pretty sad. yale was my 3rd choice after all. oh wells. I know I won't get in RD. Every top student from our school wants to go there. I am still hoping for P or S though(1st and 2nd choices respectively).</p>
<p>oh, well, then it's not such a big deal! Good luck to you!</p>
<p>2012 :D I'll see you three and those submitted to Yale during RD over in CT.</p>
<p>Just curious, how many applicants are accepted via this Questbridge program or whatever it is?</p>
<p>I didnt get in- YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY- i don't like yale anyway- rich snobby preps</p>
<p>I haven't noticed too many openly preppy kids around here, and I'm definitely not rich. Yay for awesome finaid!</p>
<p>I like Yale but I feel science and econ is weaker here than PS. Can someone convince me otherwise? Everything else about Y beats PS though.</p>
<p>idk for sure, but i definitely got the vibe that science at yale was really strong. first off, their huge endowment definitely helps and theyve been investing a lot of money into science hill. in fact theyre planning on renovated/rebuilding the chemistry building. if you're pre-med, you may want to consider yale as well. the acceptance rate to med school is something crazy like 92-96% (check website for exact figures) whereas the national rate is only 50%.</p>
<p>i have no idea about econ though</p>
<p>Collegehopeful,
I've had friends who got in RD.
Yale, btw, is really throwing a lot of money and resources at the sciences and has a lot of opportunities for undergrads. Perspectives on Science is a competitive freshman class that has guest speakers in every week and culminates in a research paper and a guaranteed position in a Yale professor's lab over the summer and beyond. There's even a special bio class that prepares for a class trip to a rainforest in South America to collect specimens and design and carry out your own experiment.</p>
<p>Other guy who said we were "preppy",
I'd encourage you to come for a visit and see that are really a bunch of down-to-earth college kids who enjoy school, the arts, sports and just about anything you can think of. </p>
<p>Congratulations to those who got in! I hope to see you at Bulldog Days and Camp Yale next fall!</p>
<p>That's so exciting. Congrats guys. I love everyone at QuestScholars! It's an amazing organization. I almost did QuestLeadership a few years ago.</p>
<p>How do you know that you didn't get in? I tought the decisions are coming out next week....</p>
<p>What on earth is Questbridge, and do they get admissions decisions earlier than other applicants?</p>
<p>Questbridge is a scholarship program for low income students. I'm not sure why they find out early.</p>
<p>It's apart of their program like an early-early action.</p>
<p>This may be a dumb question, but why do they need to/get to know so early? I understand the program but why is it so early?</p>
<p>It's just how the program is done. Besides, it's wonderful to know early. You feel really relieved afterwards.</p>
<p>Does the Questbridge program pay the tuition or the individual schools who accept the scholars?</p>
<p>It's the school.</p>
