Thoughts on Yale, College Admissions, Dreams, and More

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>I wrote this essay on my blog and posted it in the Yale Applicants Facebook Group a few days before SCEA decisions were released:
<a href="http://movielivesandmore.blogspot.com/2014/12/non-sequitur-thoughts-on-yale-college.html"&gt;http://movielivesandmore.blogspot.com/2014/12/non-sequitur-thoughts-on-yale-college.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I was deferred, and here's the followup essay I wrote:
<a href="http://movielivesandmore.blogspot.com/2014/12/non-sequitur-reflections-on-yale-being.html"&gt;http://movielivesandmore.blogspot.com/2014/12/non-sequitur-reflections-on-yale-being.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>A few notes on what I was like as an applicant, if anyone was curious:
Good test scores (36,2350)
Good grades (4.0/5.0)
Decent EC's (Heavily involved in sports and music, but no real awards or such to my name)</p>

<p>Well, it's definitely well past the SCEA timeline but maybe RD'ers can gain something from this. Feel free to tell me what you think, good, bad, constructive, destructive, etc.</p>

<p>Also check out the rest of my blog if you want (haha shameless self promotion).</p>

<p>Thanks All,</p>
