Latinos at Yale

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I read in the YDN an editorial about Yale's not being on the top 25 Universities for Latinos because it did not make the 7% latino cut while rival institutions Harvard, MIT etc were ranked highly in this poll by Hispanic Magazine.</p>

<p>So do you think adcoms are actively trying to increase Latino population? Or not, since the report was just released??</p>

<p>I have gotten a Harvard likely, early writes from Swat and Amherst....will Yale love me?? I love it...</p>

<p>(and I'm Latina)</p>

<p>the end.....</p>

<p>Even if Yale was not actively trying to increase the Latino population, being a qualified one (as you seem to be, considering your early writes) would definitely work in your favor</p>

<p>apparently, Yale saw a huge rise this year in African-American and Latino groups in the applicant pool. If u got a Harvard likely, I'd say ur chances at Yale are very high.</p>

<p>Actually, Yale is ranked 4th by Hispanic Mag behind H, P & Amherst. Here's the link to the yale article:</p>

<p>does that include this year's class?
that's good. Harvard was really helpful giving me information, while I didn't get a response from Yale at all</p>

<p>i had a look at that list when I applied to colleges, but i applied to colleges not on that list, either... so, i'm not sure how much of an impact it has on hispanic students...</p>

<p>Pretty much...
Mexican myself, with low SAT scores and a not-so-amazing GPA. What were your stats since you got a likely letter?....any others wanna share how they stand: you can e-mail me, I'm not sure I want to post it up myself (to the public, that is)</p>

<p>Thanks for your response (or lack thereof)</p>

<p>Being a Mexican Yalie lemme say that we have a pretty vibrant Latino/a community. In reference to that YDN article, the Dean of Admissions actually says we /did/ have over 7% and the party ranking universities hadold Yale data.
There are plenty of things for Latino/as to do here. There are a few country-centric clubs- Mexico, Cuba, etc. There are also pan-Latin-American clubs. New Haven also has a pretty big Hispanic community, so there are definitely opportunities to go out into the public schools and help little kids.
The Ivy League's Latino/a groups like to keep in touch with each other and have conferences and such.</p>
