Why Yale? “The people at Yale stand out. The brilliant minds behind the Yale Admissions video hooked me. The eccentric tour guide’s love of Yale was infectious. The public health professor’s Global Health Initiative sparked my interest. The freshman lacrosse walk-on gave me hope. When I thought about sitting down to dinner at a residential college dining hall with any of these Yalies, I liked the fact that it could be with all of these Yalies.”
