<p>This is my second week at Yale, and I can tell you just one thing -
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!</p>
<p>cool are u an international.....</p>
<p>mariela, are you from australia? I think I remember you about watnting to go to yale heaps lol I wish i could set a foot a yale *sigh</p>
<p>Mariele is fom Bulgaria..</p>
<p>SHe got admitted to harvard , yale.. andmany others...cool</p>
<p>yep, guys, I am from Bulgaria...</p>
<p>If there is anything I can help you out with, just let me know.</p>
<p>I remember very well what it was like last year;)</p>
<p>Thanx for volunteering.... do Tell us abt anything special that maybe adcomm commented on or u felt gave u the edge......
:)</p>
<p>What actually surprised me was that diffrent schools liked TOTALLY DIFFERENT things. What I tought would impress one, did not impress another at all...
For example, UPenn was extremely impressed with my community service work whereas Yale was very impressed with my voluntary work at a non - profit organization and by the essay...
Oh, yeah, the essay - work HARD on this part. This is one of the the three things that will help you stand out from the crowd, so work your a** off. I worked on my essay for 5 months, but it paid off in the end.</p>
<p>My point is you never know with each college...just find one or two things that make you really special and boost them in your app, so that the adcoms can see that you are an applicant that deserves a fat envelope in April:)</p>
<p>So in the essay ... u laid the gr8test effort.. 1 thin tell us for sure.how many essay did u write. did u write 1 for all..... And what was ur topic for essays (list a few which u sent to major ones and few that were sent to all) .. How many essays did u send per college .. How did u make each essay to each college special. advice ....</p>
