<p>Know this: a big part of a Yalie’s sleep deprivation or stressed schedule will be self-imposed. Why? It’s not only the academics but you’ll find yourself in a cornucopia of extra curricular and social situations that won’t be repeated. Ignore your sister’s situation. You’re about to enter an almost endless buffet line of great experiences and opportunities. Your regret will be that you don’t have enough hours in a day to enjoy all that Yale College has to offer.</p>
<p>And it’s extremely natural to feel that “did yale admissions make a mistake?”. Practically everyone feels that at one time or another. They didn’t. Congrats and enjoy New Haven.</p>
