[quote=Anonymous]I went to Bulldog days (as the admitted student days are called at Yale) and there was a panel discussion by the Yale director of admissions on what they looked for and how they admitted the class of 2029. A few things that stood out 1. They are super sensitive to the application looking too polished as in having multiple people reviewing it as they really really really want to read in the student's voice. I thought my kid's application is a bit raw and it likely helped. 2. They love quirky as in not following a template. The one person who we showed the application thought my kid is making a big mistake because of this and very strongly recommended kid change/rewrite parts of the application. The AO who reviewed my kid's application actually highlighted in a hand written note in the admissions letter about the exact thing the kid was told to modify. So glad kid had the confidence not to take that advice. [/quote]
