<p>^Really? Though that reason would hardly surprise me, I always thought it was because it was SCEA and the current trend was to apply to more than one college early.</p>
<p>On the west coast, at least where I am, Yale is misconceptually seen as an overly pretentious and pretty school (quite ironic, given the people who make such remarks) but I guess safety, although I didn’t feel it was a big reason in itself probably took the cake… away.</p>
<p>Is it just me or is the waiting game kicking butt at times? lol.</p>
<p>Any advice on a fishy interview spot for my Yale interview? I’m supposed to meet the guy at a Burger King at 11:30 in the morning and I got the notice just now for an interview for this Saturday! ><</p>
<p>Is this a normal circumstance? And by that, I mean is it an okay spot to meet? I have no problem with it but my parents think that since it’s Yale university, I should be meeting the guy at some sort of country club (place for my Brown interview)…</p>
<p>My friend’s interview for either Yale or Harvard, I forget, was at Skyline Chili, a local restaurant that is maybe a quarter of a step above the inside of a fast food restaurant. If it was Harvard, she got in, so yay for fast food places. If it was Yale, she wore a Harvard colored coat (her only coat was red, poor gal) and got rejected, so boo fast food.</p>
<p>Maybe all Yale interviewers are very casual? My interviewer uses very few capital letters in his emails. I like it :).</p>
<p>Hahaha, my Yale interview was a Panera Bread Company. So it was a nice atmosphere. I wouldn’t be worried about it being at Burger King, besides the fact that fast food is disgusting 
I also imagine that people around you will like like “***, this person is going to Yale?!?!”</p>
<p>But if I were an interviewer, I would choose a place like that intentionally, just to see everyone else’s reaction. Maybe all Yale alum have twisted senses of humor.</p>
<p>Haha mine was at a Starbucks… so I agree, somewhat of a nicer locale, and the BK thing IS weird, but whatever. If your interviewer wants to do it, so be it XP It probably means he’s a young college dude or something, so at least that’ll be nice (instead of having some boring old man to talk to)</p>
<p>I actually heard of a Duke( I know, not Yale) alumnus who opted to hold the interview at a McDonalds. It doesn’t help that he was described as an out of shape man who was holding a big mac when the student arrived.</p>
<p>Hahahah that’s so cute 
At least he really enjoys his job</p>
<p>My interviewer met me at Breugger’s Bagels. I had a delicious softwich before he came, but he didn’t notice.</p>
<p>this guy is definitely NOT some young dude hahaha </p>
<p>but i talked to my teacher (she’s been on numerous college admissions boards) and she said the older the interviewer the better.</p>
<p>something about not having to deal with generational gaps? i don’t know, hopefully it works in my favor!</p>
<p>i should go to sleep soon…interview tmrw ahhhH!!</p>
<p>any of you guys make presidential scholar?</p>
<p>too bad i’m not eligible :(… perm res</p>
<p>Male, applying for Biochemistry</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>yeah…how many people were nominated? i looked at the list and it’s huge!!!</p>
<p>^it’s supposed to be 40 from each state, but a lot of states have more than that because of ties
what was your SAT score?</p>
<p>apparently they only take into account M and V scores, for which i had 1550</p>
<p>^thats too low for most states
I’m guessing tristan is from an underrepresented state, because I’m from PA and had a 1590 M+V and didnt make it. in a lot of the states (read: northeast and california) you had to have a perfect score in both sections to qualify</p>
<p>I would have been if Hillary had been elected -.-</p>
<p>Stupefy, I know two people who had a 1590 CR + M as well and they didn’t qualify :(. Since when were there intelligent people in PA?</p>
