<p>I've just finished my Yale Second Essay. That's the one that challenges you to tell the adcom something about you that they wouldn't otherwise find out. So if any current Yalies or alumni would take a read and offer comments/suggestions/advice/praise/hatred/criticism, I'd be most grateful.</p>
<p>I promise it'll be an interesting read.</p>
<p>I’m applying 2014 but I would be happy to read and offer you advice. If you want to, just PM me. :)</p>
<p>I am also applying 2014 but I would be more than happy to help as well. I will not let the bias of us both applying to get in the way! PM if you would like.</p>
<p>Sure. I’m a 2013 Yalie.</p>
<p>PM me please!</p>
<p>i’m applying 2014 too but i’m done with mine already so you can send it over if you’d like :)</p>
<p>PM me if you wish to.</p>
<p>PM me. I will try not to batter your essay, HA</p>
<p>Is this the “truly optional” one? Lol, I didn’t write that…</p>
<p>yale has “truly optional” essays? i was under the impression that the second essay was required of all applicants.</p>
<p>should i write about what career I want in the future?
i was planning to write about my desire to be an orthopedic surgeon.</p>
<p>OP: watch out for those essay leeches!!!</p>
<p>truly optional was harvard … I’m pretty sure the yale one was required</p>
