[quote=Anonymous]Pre-pandemic, I was an alum interviewer for Penn, back when they tried to guarantee an interview for every applicant. One of my interviewees was a young man who I met at a Starbucks in a neighboring town. He told me his Dad was tired of him doing nothing with his life, and had forced him to apply to a bunch of Ivy league schools. He worked part-time at a warehouse distribution center, his primary activity outside of work was playing video games and partying with his friends, and he had graduated from high school two years earlier with a 2.5 GPA and bare minimum state-required classes. He volunteered all this info, as an interviewer I didn't see grades or any application detail. He was very nice, but I left the meeting wondering why my Alma mater wasted an hour or 2 of my time. With Yale's name recognition, I am sure they have way more applicants like this than Penn. Probably very easy to make a first cut.[/quote]
