<p>Does the major you put down have any effect on your admissions?</p>
<p>I want to major in writing literature (specifically creative writing) and minor in spanish</p>
<p>So, guys…out of curiosity, why Yale?</p>
<p>When I was a senior in high school, colleges called out my name. Every day I’d debate where to matriculate, but every place seemed the same…Yet after I went through the options, only one choice remained. I wanted to hail from a college called Yale…</p>
<p>But, honestly, I’m really curious…haahhaa.</p>
<p>^^ sorry, just burning off nervous energy for this interminable SCEA wait. But have you seen the video to which I referred? It’s pretty cool:
[YouTube</a> - That’s Why I Chose Yale](<a href=“That's Why I Chose Yale - YouTube”>That's Why I Chose Yale - YouTube)</p>
<p>as far as me personally, when I visited campus I came away with the feeling that Yale is where I belonged, it just felt like me. Sorry I can’t articulate it better, I did on my supplement short answer though… :)</p>
<p>Physics and Philosophy</p>
<p>Why Yale? Best dining hall in the world lol.</p>
<p>I loved the yale video.</p>
<p>I saw the video, aaha. <3 </p>
<p>What did y’all say for the short answer? (I already turned in my application, so…)</p>
<p>Political science</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No it doesn’t. The only thing it might affect is who interviews you I believe</p>
<p>Yale has an amazing viola teacher and the Tokyo Quartet is so awesome so I definitely want to study with them. But at the same time I don’t want to take music history, advanced theory, piano, composition and all those courses required for the major. I’m thinking take music lessons and play in the YSO while pursuing a degree in polisci/international relations.</p>
<p>I put down Humanities as I’m not sure whether I’d like to study Literature or History…I’m very open to other possibilities 
(pyschology? film? art history?)</p>
<p>put down engineering, but maybe economics, CS, sciences… kinda undecided</p>
<p>Chemistry and Economics</p>
<p>Physics and Chemistry… might put down that I’m really interested in politics as well though :)</p>
<p>Skull and Bones (jk) ;)</p>
<p>Political Science and Economics, I’ll definitely pursue music and journalism on the side.</p>
<p>I think I put undecided on my app, but most likely will do Environmental Studies.</p>
<p>The reason I chose Yale is rather odd. My friend was gaga over it, and I never saw why. She showed me the “That’s Why I Chose Yale” video, and for some reason it stuck with me. It was a funny video, but it sparked my interest. When doing more searching, I found out that Yale was definitely a school I would love to attend. I have to thank my friend for showing me that video or I might be still thinking nothing of Yale lol.</p>
<p>I’m planning on History and Economics. Woo!</p>
<p>I chose Yale for a few reasons.
A) Harvard sent me junk mail. Princeton sent me junk mail. Yale ignored me completely. And that means it’s totally a challenge.
B) Dick Blumenthal (CT’s junior senator and '72) is a guy that I’ve had the chance to speak with quite a few times. I want to become a Connecticut politician when I’m older, and he raved about Yale. It was pretty convincing.</p>

<p>I got two viewbooks from them… you can have one of mine.</p>
