<p>What in particular about Yale has influenced your decision to apply? Please limit your response to the space provided.</p>
<p>Any ideas as to how am I supposed to approach this question?
Thanks!</p>
<p>why do you want to go to yale? </p>
<p>just be honest and tell them why. don't try to impress them with a made-up reason. they'll see right through it.</p>
<p>i'm applying to yale too and this is going to be difficult for me to answer too!</p>
<p>I just talked about why my intended major attracted me to Yale in there. Ofcourse there'd be many other approaches.</p>
<p>honestly i could write soooo much about why i want to go to yale, so much that i would write the 500 word supplement about it. if i didnt answer the short prompt and chose to do this instead, do you think this would be foolish? ahh omgggggggggggg</p>
<p>i mean, just make sure that what you say in the small space gels with what you would say when during your interview they ask why yale. just a few sentences on the honest reasons you want to go to yale, if you dont have anything, then get out, thats what harvard is for.</p>
<p>^^That would be a waste of an essay...seriously. The supplement is supposed to be about you...not about Yale. Just pick something that you won't find at any other University and write about that. (But, of course, you can write your supplement about anything you want...don't let my opinion stop you.)</p>
<p>heres mine:
After reading this prompt I searched for unique reasons that instigated my love for Yale. The truth is, I want to attend your fine institutions because of your varied, extensive resources and attraction avialable such as the Gutenberg Bible, the distinguished ethos of Yale and the fine architecture. Most of all, I would like to earn the best possible education so that I may use it to better the economy and the lives of those less fortunate. </p>
<p>I know the last part seem a little fake but I have things in the rest of my application that support this claim.</p>
<p>So was I too direct</p>
<p>^Did you copy and paste that from your app? Because there are a lot of typo errors...just fyi.</p>
<p>Be honest in what you like about Yale. As a theatre techie, I wrote about wanting to tech for the various shows that happen at Yale, and combining the practical experience with the fantastic Theater Studies major to get a well-rounded theatre education.</p>
<p>But then again, I think the admission committee thought there were better schools out there for theatre techies so they rejected me ;) haha</p>
<p>I kinda just wrote about Master's Tea...I've always had this dreamy approach to that.</p>
<p>I don't think I really make sense</p>
<p>^ I also mentioned the Master's Teas! Mine also took a dreamy approach, and I hope it makes sense... LOL</p>
