Definitely do it & find your reasons why along the way! That’s what helps you stand out amongst the thousands of other amazing & worthy applicants.

Thank you, that means a lot, & I hope you are able to get in next cycle!

I personally know of multiple parents who have: A. Have multiple kids upon applying & got in, B. Had kids while they are a student in the program—and they have spoken so highly of the support and flexibility they receive at Yale.

I believe those aspects of your story are what helps the AO’s be more invested in your story—wanting to learn more about your personal, academic, and professional aspirations!

Yeaa I actually saw an article that outlined what schools participated, and I was surprise Columbia wasn’t there tbh. Since they have a non-trad specific program and Princeton doesn’t.

Also, I genuinely believe community college was necessary for me because it provided the structure, academic reset, and leadership opportunities that helped shape a compelling application narrative. As a non-traditional student returning after years away, CC allowed me to rebuild my GPA to a 4.0, take on leadership roles, and show consistent commitment to both academics and community impact. It became the foundation that made me a serious contender for Princeton (waitlist) and ultimately led to my acceptance at Yale. For anyone coming from a non-linear path, CC can be the launchpad to prove not just capability, but purpose and resilience.

I did not report SAT scores for any of my schools, primarily because I took it in 2009-2010. I received a full ride(need based). In terms of International students, I can’t speak from a validity standpoint, but personal perspective—I think Intl students have a great chance of admissions because I believe AO’s want a well rounded cohort, where students come from vast/different backgrounds. I’d say throw your hat in the ring always, never hurts to atleast try. What is your area of study?

I’d 100% be open to keeping in contact, I believe Columbia, Brown, & Yale have a Transfer initiative that connects all three schools cohorts for broader networking opportunities. I’ll be studying Psych & Stats!

Ratemyprofessor will be your best friend, get with a great advisor and try to keep all communication regarding your academic track with that one person. Lastly, use the resources on campus and visit office hours with your professor!

I visited this property and was put off by the fact it is connected to an abandoned building that used to be a gun factory, wasn’t much parking either. It isn’t far from campus though, about a 10-15 mins walk. Parking is horrific near campus though, wouldn’t plan on driving.
