<p>I am applying to Yale early action and am a litttle confused about certain aspects of the application:
What is the point of "What interests you in Yale" if you only have 50 words to express it? What are they looking for?
And for the EC or experience that has influence you most on the Common app, which of these is best? Working at Columbia molecular biology lab, founding a Junior Statesmen of America chapter at my school or being the editor in chief of an award winning high school newspaper.
Also,
I know that 48 percent of applicants were deferred early last year from Yale. What percentage of those who were deferred got in regular?
Thanks!</p>
