[quote=Anonymous]I love all the people talking about what Yale “wants”. They want people who stand out in some way, and that doesn’t mean grades or a particular subject matter. You look at one or two kids on their individual merits, which are impressive, but in the aggregate these kids are a dime a dozen. When I first started doing interviews many years ago now, I couldn’t understand how the kids weren’t getting in. After a while, I was getting a much better eye on who got in, and these were the same kids who had stood out to me in my hour meeting. And they’re the same kids that the teachers remember and I’m sure submit the most targeted write ups for. There is nothing wrong with 95% of the others - lovely kids, they all could succeed, but when you meet them in bulk, there’s just a sameness about them. Only once in the last five years was I surprised about an acceptance, and never stunned by a denial. Nice kids, all of them. [/quote]
