<p>i just started it and it is very dry at first, but i am slowly getting into it</p>
<p>I'm applying EA as well, good luck to everyone! I hope we all see each other in New Haven next fall. I guess we'll all be checking back in December to report our (hopefully affirmative!) EA admissions results. I'm nervous already.</p>
<p>Lessee here, my loves include rowing, the Severn and Charles rivers, my ipod, drawing and painting, "The Golden Compass" by Phillip Pullman, getting a tan, speaking Spanish with my friends, "The Nightmare Before Christmas", and calculus (yeah, i'm a nerd). Good luck again to everyone!</p>
<p>i just saw yale today for the first time and it was perfect absolutely perfect......it was a beautiful campus and i can't imagine myself anywhere else.....so fingers crossed i am really hoping to get in good luck again to everyone we could all be the class of '12 one day.....amazing isn't it!</p>
<p>Hi~
Try my little luck!</p>
<p>Is this forum really dead? Come on, guys, where are you???</p>
<p>HEY, the less people that apply, the better for us hopefuls.</p>
<p>gah :/</p>
<p>^^What's the problem with the info in the link? I like Yale, but I like UChicago better, so I am applying there (also EA to Boston College, University of GA, Georgetown, and GA state) Plus if I apply to Yale SCEA I can't apply anywhere else (also odds of rejection are 90%). I want more than one acceptance under my belt while waiting anxiously for my RD results.
Um question to keep this awesome thread going...What do you plan on majoring in? and the classic"Why Yale?"</p>
<p>Santiago our tour guide had the best sense of humor ever. As a matter of fact, everyone I met there had a great sense of humor. Everywhere I went everyone was reading great books. The campus was gorgeous. I loved the residential system. There is nothing better than having tea and talking with important people. I loved Au Bon Pain. Everyone was invested in meaningful activities. My favorite place to sit was the Maya Lin fountain. If you want to read a great book about it's history read Yale:A History by Kelley. You can buy it at the bookstore, or order it online. It felt like home.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I forgot. It was the only campus where someone from the campus actually asked me what I thought of the college. I was sitting on a bench with my mom reading the Yale history book. A professor who was walking to his class stopped and asked me if he could see what I was reading. Then he asked me if I was visiting the college. I said, "Yes." Then he asked me what I thought about his university. I told him it was fantastic, but everyone wanted to go here so my chances were slim. But if I don't get accepted then there are always the summer programs. So, no matter what I could have some type of Yale experience." Then my mom said (she likes to talk a lot), "I think after I launch my offspring I am going to come here for a summer class too. Of course, I will be one of those senior citizen summer students." He smiled and said, "Do you like coffee (it was a cold morning)? I said, "You bet!" And he told me to go Koffee. So my mom and I had lunch in the warm basement of Koffee and I was hooked.</p>
<p>lobgent did you have Santiago as a tour guide also?</p>
<p>Haha -- no, but he led the admissions info session. He's hilarious.</p>
<p>Potential majors? Applied science of some sort. On another tangent, perhaps communications.</p>
<p>May I speak off topic for one moment? To anyone who works at Yale. I would like you to know that Santiago is the best representative of any college I have ever visited (and believe me that has been many). Every tour-guide should study under him. If there was an Oscar for tours. He would win it. I am making this declaration because I have been on so many incredibly boring tours throughout the last two years. Thank you Santiago for the best tour possible. Alright, I am finished.</p>
<p>My majors will be film, screenwriting, communications, and history.</p>
<p>My major would be either chemistry, biochemistry or environmental science.</p>
<p>Mine would be International Studies or Ethics, Politics, and Economics, or Political Science.</p>
<p>Hello,
I am an intrenational student from Nepal currently studying in UWC Norway(<a href="http://www.uwc.org%5B/url%5D">www.uwc.org</a>) and I am considering applying a Restrictive Early Action to Yale for my undergraduate admissions. </p>
<p>Honestly, speaking I am little aware about the specific details of colleges and universities which the prospective students tend to look for. I hear people talking about getting the right match between the college & university and the student but I haven't been able to find one for me. But I think I like Yale, one of the reasons being its early application program which is "non-binding" .</p>
<p>I would like to know your impressions of Yale. 4 questions for you:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>What are the first impressions you have in your mind when you hear about Yale? (eg. Tough, Political, Big, Small, Hard, Very Athletics, Very academic, Liberal, Conservative, Social, Elite, etc.....) </p></li>
<li><p>If you think more carefully for some time about Yale, what impressions of Yale do you have or in other words, according to your knowledge, how is Yale and what do you know about it? </p></li>
<li><p>For what type of students is Yale suited for? </p></li>
<li><p>Any internet site, book, newspaper, magazine which would be the source to consult regarding Yale and its match with a prospective undergraduate student? </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Any other advice would be highly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,
Mr. Blue.</p>
<p>I'm applying SCEA.
Majors: Economics, Political Science, International Relations</p>
<p>Oh God! let's fast forward to December 15th shall we?</p>
<p>i wish we could fast forward...</p>
<p>We can apply to Yale and Illinois urbana early right?</p>
