<p>I understand that Yale has a magnificently strong MES program. I never really thought about this as a potential route for me, but that has changed. I was wondering, for someone possibly interested in this, how can I go about expressing my interest for the program? Also, what major does this fall under? I'd love to learn more about it as well, and see if it is "it" for me.</p>
<p>If it helps, I have been a teacher at my local mosque for about 3 years (since I was 14) and a student all my life. I am Muslim, and from Afghanistan. I can speak and write in 4 Middle Eastern languages (including Pashto and Dari). I've visited Afghanistan once before, and will probably visit again this summer. I am very interested in politics, and I have often read and researched a lot about it, especially the history of the Middle East (with emphasis, as may have been guessed, on Afghanistan). Any ideas as to how I can express this in other ways (besides the essays)?</p>
