<p>Seriously, what IS it with all these black Yale EA admits? Can you guys share the secret to your success?
@galestorm- Yeah, alot of kids on here are very accomplished. It is less scary than before for me, though. But, then, this is probably only a taste of what it will be like for you guys if you decide to go ivy... ;) So, best of luck.</p>
<p>Haha, if I knew why the heck they let me in I would tell you. My EC's may have tipped me over, just because I'm really into one unique thing (unique as in curling, or digeridoo playing). But seriously, who knows?</p>
<p>I wish I had a digeridoo to tip me over.... But all I have is art. Note to self: tell all of my ambitious junior friends to acquire a wacky hobby before app time.</p>
