<p>Hey all. I'm really confused as to what this question was...I didn't see a "Why Yale" question any where on the application. If someone could explain what it was, I'd appreciate it because right now, I feel myself starting to hyperventilate.</p>
<p>It was a question on the Yale Supplement that said "How did you become interested in applying to Yale?" It was not a long essay but was a short answer that only had a few lines to be written in on the paper app.</p>
<p>oh...thanks...then why are some people so wound up over it? I thought it was just feedback for the school and had no bearing on the application itself.</p>
<p>I think it's a bit unclear whether or not it was a part of the application. Nonetheless, I think people made wayyyy to big a deal of it.</p>
<p>hey Jill :) haven't seen you around in awhile</p>
<p>I overthought my "Why Yale" response (as I did my entire app), and while I'm sure that it's probably not intended to be evaluative, the adcoms do read it, so I see it as another place to demonstrate interest.</p>
<p>That's a good point. I didn't think of that. I've decided that this site makes me too nervous to visit every day. Now that it's all down time, a lot of the posts are people who are trying to make time go by faster. Then the paranoia sets in. Whenever someone panics because they've forgotten something, I start panicking also. :) Not so good for the health. Still, I miss the fun atmosphere here.</p>
<p>Haha I know exactly what you mean. Despite all that, my addiction seems to overpower my paranoia. Anyway, you've been missed.</p>
<p><em>warm tingling feeling</em> thanks. have you seen the new bridget jones movie with hugh grant?</p>
<p>Hahaa hugh grant, you remembered :p Unfortunately, I have not, because I haven't even seen the first one! It's on my list of things to do, above "fill out other applications" and below "buy the new Elliot Smith album."</p>
<p>hm.. fill out other applications... why does that sound so familiar...?
and to be honest, haosquared, I wouldnt worry too too much about the Why Yale question, I already dont remember what i wrote, something about band probably.</p>
<p>Band? Victoria, that would be so unlike you :p</p>
<p>i should rephrase that... probably something about how i LOVE band and I cant wait to participate in MARCHING band and JAZZ bands and the ORCHESTRA in college because I LOVE band so much. BAND BAND OBOE BAND MARCHING PICCOLO BAND.</p>
<p>Ahh that sounds much better</p>
<p>I want to do the symphonic orchestra too!</p>
<p>lol...once again, let the hijacking begin. :)</p>
<p>LOL Jill join in! Any symphonic orchestral desires on your part?</p>
<p>at least its not (yet) a dessert thread takeover.
and id like to join a fun choir group.</p>
<p>as an audience member, yes! as a musician...I could just help you guys carry your instruments.</p>
<p>and I would LOVE to join a choir group...something laidback, relaxed where they don't pick on you for always hitting wrong notes...kind of a bumbling choraliers atmosphere</p>
<p>niiiice

when we all attend next year we can form our own choral group.
and you are welcome to be my roadie any day of the week, carrying that oboe and that piccolo gets heavy you kno. lol</p>
<p>hahaa we should totally call it the Bumbling Choraliers! And then we could sing songs about how happy we are to have gotten into Yale, and about cookies, and about Hugh Grant!</p>
<p>Jill, will you carry my flute too?</p>
