You have 3,000+ colleges to pick from, why Yale?

<p>...just because it's fun to talk about ;)</p>

<p>Parameters: "because...it's Yale!" is not a legitimate answer, not by my standards at least. and you can definitely note multiple outstanding attributes (it'd be hard not to!)</p>

<p>1..2..3..GO!</p>

<p>I sense a desperate essay writer ;)</p>

<p>“You have 3,000+ colleges to pick from, why Yale?”</p>

<p>Safety in case you don’t get into Harvard.</p>

4

<p>^ I hope you were being sarcastic because Yale is never a safety school: many students get into Harvard but do not get into Yale.</p>

5

<p>That was obviously sarcastic.</p>

<p>There have been a lot of threads like this lately~</p>

6

<p>I wonder why…<em>hint hint</em></p>

7

<p>Because it is filled with people who (presumably) wrote a convincing essay on why Yale was their top choice.</p>

8

<p>Q: Why Yale? A: “Why not?”</p>

9

<p>Because of the naked parties…</p>

10

<p>quick question:
yale is known for its theatrical arts. but is it top-notch in fine arts (painting, photography, sculpture, etc.) as well?</p>

11

<p>For the monogrammed “Y” waffles in the dining halls :)</p>

12

<p>cause it starts with y (and its amazing)</p>

13

<p>"Q: Why Yale? A: “Why not?” "</p>

<p>Aw… you stole my essay!</p>

14

<p>At least bc of the beautiful campus, though it can get rather depressing on rainy days.</p>

15

<p>ephemeral2:
not to sound wide-eyed and naive, but did you really write why not yale?</p>

<p>chair2:
its pretty good for the fine arts too, but i think (emphasis on the i’m not too sure) RISD and NYU are better…</p>

16

<p>:)
No, I didn’t write that, haha. I don’t think I’d be accepted if I had.</p>

17

<p>yale is exceptionally good in the fine arts. in most rankings it only falls behind RISD which is linked to Brown. </p>

<p>Yale beats most other art schools also.</p>

<p>I think Yale Fine Arts is just as good as Yale Drama.</p>

18

<p>Because it is the coolest school in the good old HPYS?</p>

19

<p>Because Meryl Streep went to Yale! She is unreal!</p>

<p>Although that is not what I put. haha.</p>

<p>I almost talked about the Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders (one of my academic interests). Thankfully I did a quick check to make sure I had the name right- turns out the center closed this summer. Very good thing I didn’t mention it!</p>
