<p>Speaking from experience, once you hit -20, it all feels the same. Sorry, nothing useful to add to this thread. (I'm an RD applicant)</p>
<p>I'm laughing at the weather comments. I live in a warmer part of Canada where this winter it's been hovering at 14F - 18F with dips down to 0.</p>
<p>Maybe we should refer to Rory Gilmore's Yale pro/con list and look at the cons section to answer the question posed by this thread. I just watched all the Yale-related episodes. The part when they tell her grandparents and they proceed to call some friend (to gloat, of course) whose "dim-witted son couldn't even get into Brown" is hilarious, and rather unwarranted.</p>
<p>haha, same here, I live in TX and I think it's cold whenever it goes under 60 degrees XD</p>
<p>Haha- I love that gilmore girls episode! I crack up everytime Lorelai goes on about, "dirty, filthy Princeton."</p>
<p>I just watched like 20 Yale campus tour videos and loved them all. I also watched ones for ASU and Harvard... eghhh.</p>
<p>go to MIT for Mech E.</p>
<p>@Jenny717:
"2?! You think there are a total of 2 guys cleaning all of Princeton?"</p>
<p>Haha!! Well, Lorelai's has a point. I'll admit that I'm only going to Yale for the extremely clean facilities... and in hopes of seeing future Meryl Streeps when they're crazy and 18. =)</p>
<p>When Meryl Streep was crazy and eighteen...she was at Vassar!</p>
<p>i heard about the mice problem, and that New Heaven is not very nice.... of course the acceptance rate is the huge problem!!</p>
<p>I'm going for theater, so if i get into yale, i guess i would be a crazy 18 yr old Meryl Streep. (or at least i would want to be)</p>
<p>nire300: you'll love the theatre scene at Y and NH too. Lots of pre-broadway shows work out their production kinks in NH theatres. Oh darn! </p>
<p>Famous and nearly famous actors from my class: Paul Giamatti and Ron Livingston. I knew them both when they were 18. LOL</p>
<p>If I were to go to Yale I'd want to meet a Marty :)</p>
<p>Oh thats awesome! yeah i really really hope to get accepted. It would be my dream come true!</p>
<p>Hahahahah. Ohhh Marty, I'd love to meet one of those. </p>
<p>Hopefully not a Paris. I don't think I would be able to handle one of those...</p>
<p>Yeah, no Paris-types for me either. </p>
<p>Did you guys know that Tony Shalhoub (Monk) went to Yale?? I was on Wikipedia's "List of Yale University People" and was surprised to see him.</p>
<p>Yale is awesome. And definitely no cockroaches in Timothy Dwight! (which, coincidentally, is the greatest RC ever. Check out the blog to see for yourself! Timothy</a> Dwight)</p>
<p>To be fair, TD was hit by a series of thefts last year though...beautiful college though!</p>
<p>For the theatre-interested person(s), if you get into JE, you might enjoy our Culture Draw system, which is probably the best at Yale--this JE boasting is coming from a guy who cringes at the letters "J" and "E." </p>
<p>Culture draw for JE is tons of opportunities to join the JE Master in New York to take in dinner* and a show--ballet, opera, symphony, or my weapon of choice: a play--on JE's dime. This past weekend, I joined our Master for dinner at Scarlatto and then saw "The American Plan." Last year I saw semi-Yalie Claire Danes's stage debut in "Pygmalion." *or a fancy lunch if the show is earlier in the day</p>
<p>So...hope to get into JE, hope to get picked during Culture Draw, and you too could enjoy free and wonderful fine-dining and plays, which I'm sure a theatre-person would especially enjoy.</p>
<p>Interesting. Back-to-back vouching for JE and TD :)</p>
