<p>I know there is already one for SCEA Yale hopefuls, but this one can be a place for ALL Yale hopefuls to come and support each other through the application (and waiting for results) processes. Come and vent your fears, hopes, feelings of excitement, quirky Yale-centered obsessions, anecdotes relating to being a Yale hopeful, et cetera. Anyone with me? :)</p>
<p>Just pray we all get in here at CC.
I really want to get in early, then I would be able to cancel a bunch of applications.</p>
<p>You’re right. It would be so awesome if many of us hardcore Yale lovers on CC actually got in! :)</p>
<p>i so want to go to yale. what’s everyone’s FAVORITE thing about yale?</p>
<p>my favorite thing about yale is…it being YALE.</p>
<p>haha, jk. I love the residential college system, it’s such a unique idea.</p>
<p>You know, I’m always asked by peers why I’m so obsessed with Yale, and I can never give an adequate answer. There are too many great things about Yale! I guess the big thing for me is the academic prestige. I’m so tired of terrible teachers who don’t know anything about what they teach 
And on top of that, I am also a huge fan of the residential college system. Wow, there are just too many cool things about Yale to express :)</p>
<p>Totally in! :3 It would be awesome if I could get into Yale, especially EA because that would save up on hundreds of dollars of application fees. D; Not pretty, several hundred dollars.</p>
<p>So many good things about Yale! Definitely the residential colleges. Good food too (but I went during the prospective students week thing, so the food was probably better than normal)! But a lot of my reasons aren’t concrete. They’re impressions/feelings I have of Yale that have stayed with me since visiting the campus.</p>
<p>I really hope I get to visit Yale. My visit is entirely contingent on whether I get accepted or not. I don’t have the money to fly out and visit now, but if I get accepted, obviously I would go to visit before making a decision. I hear the Yale campus is beautifully historic and that the student body is almost homogeneously friendly, so I think a visit would just solidify my already-existent feelings about Yale. :D</p>
<p>i know this sounds totally cliche, but my favourite thing about yale is that when i walked on campus, it felt like home. it didnt feel like some totally elitist school that has a ridiculous acceptance rate.
of course, the residential college system is fantastic. and yale definitely has THE best tour guides and information sessions. the people are so interesting and funny!</p>
<p>the energy of the place and the romantic approach to learning. im a pretty big party animal so that yalies had a lot of fun was really important. oh and THE ARTS ARE AWESOME</p>
<p>After my tour, all I could think was…“Who WOULDN’T want to go to this school???” [and btw, this was one day after my princeton tour, too.]
If a dream school exists, it’s got to be yale :]</p>
<p>Ohh, and who else hated the 200-word limit [or whatever it was, I actually think it was even shorter] on the yale supplement about why you wanted to attend yale??</p>
<p>^Out of curiosity, what did you think of Princeton compared to Yale?</p>
<p>I thought it just lacked…substance. I mean, I’m really glad that Albert Einstein taught in this classroom and that Michelle Obama is an alumni, but…I wanted to know more about the school itself, the atmosphere, how it is to be a student there. all I got from my tour was a list of famous people and ranking stuff. maybe I was just on a bad tour, idk.
Everyone just seemed so much more friendy, humble, and down-to-earth at Yale.
-prepares to be shot by the princeton-lovers on this thread-</p>
<p>haha, did anyone else who visited princeton get that feeling? It’s entirely possible I was unlucky and got put with a not-so-good tour group.</p>
<p>OMGSH … I soo agree about the lack of space for ‘Why Yale’!!!</p>
<p>I think they’re gunna think I’m ■■■■■■■■ coz I didnt even write in full sentences … I wrote lik:</p>
<p>“EPE & Theatre mix interdisciplinary with global focus --completely unique. 1 hr from NYC. Master’s Teas!” etc …</p>
