<p>Go something in the mail today from Yale...it didn't really say much except take a tour or something of Yale in the summer...it was short (postcard), but I noticed it was from the Department of like Multicultural Recruitment.</p>
<p>Does everyone get one, or is it something worth getting?</p>
<p>They're probably just trying to get more minority applicants.</p>
<p>Got the same thing,"Greetings from Yale"(im a minority)</p>
<p>ok..you never answer my PMs...but I found your myspace!</p>
<p>no tengo un myspace, pero i just sent you a pm.</p>
<p>i got one too. but i didn't bother picking it up.</p>
<p>oooooooh, to cool for yale eskimogirl</p>
<p>haha, no, that wasn't it. it was simply that i knew the postcard was nothing out of the ordinary. so, there was no reason to get excited.</p>
<p>: - \ that stinks</p>
<p>I got this email (for my son, not a minority)</p>
<p>Dear Student,</p>
<p>Did you know that Yale offers on-campus interviews to rising seniors? Though not a required part of the application, we find that a personal interview gives us a chance to get to know our applicants better. On-campus interviews are conducted
by current Yale seniors, and applicants tell us that they find their interviews to be both informative and enjoyable! Appointments are available in June, July and August, so if you are planning a trip to New Haven this summer we suggest you visit our website to schedule an on-campus interview. <a href="http://www.yale.edu/admit/visit/interviews/index.html#campus%5B/url%5D">http://www.yale.edu/admit/visit/interviews/index.html#campus</a>.</p>
<p>Hope to see you in New Haven!</p>
<p>Sincerely,
The Yale Admissions Office
P.S.
Don't worry if you can't make it to campus. We also provide local alumni
interviews in the fall and winter. Information about the alumni interview
program can be found at <a href="http://www.yale.edu/admit/visit/interviews/index.html#asc%5B/url%5D">http://www.yale.edu/admit/visit/interviews/index.html#asc</a>.</p>
<p>I sent them sort of a nasty reply asking them if they don't get enough applications already and isn't their acceptance rate low enough without soliciting applications from people that have no chance of gaining admittance. </p>
<p>They replied:
Thank you very much for your interest in Yale University. Due to the high number of requests for information we receive over e-mail at this time of year, we are unable respond to each request individually.<br>
However,...... blah blah blah</p>
<p>Hahahaha. Nice.</p>
<p>Yeah, disregard anything they send you. I had no chance at Yale and they sent me a huge viewbook with stuff and blah blah. It's a shame because it really gets some people's hopes up.</p>
<p>Well I just didn't know if it was real or not because I mean it said Multicultural Recruitment...that caught my eye.</p>
<p>I got that too. But I'm Chinese. Definitely not URM. Was rejected RD.</p>
