<p>Hello, I am new to this web-site, and would truly appreciate it if you could answer my question:</p>
<p>Can anyone please tell me what are some things that are only found in Yale--aside from the residential colleges. In other words, what EXACTLY makes Yale unique? Any suggestions, Yalies?</p>
<p>Haha I’m sorry, none of us here can help you out with that! What are you looking for that Yale provides? What can YOU bring to enrich the Yale community? I suggest you do some research online, or on Yale’s website. Perhaps there is a particular major or program that you are interested in! Best of luck!</p>
<p>Why Yale is about you and what you want in Yale…<br>
This question isn’t a trick, it is about knowing yourself well (as much as one can at age 17-18)
and
knowing Yale as well as you can from what you know of Yale through the website, visits etc.</p>
<p>If you cannot think of another reason for “Why Yale” besides the residential college system, then perhaps you should not be applying to the school. </p>
<p>Or, maybe you should try another college, like Harvard – they don’t ask a “why” question because they don’t care why you want to attend. </p>
