Viewing My College Admissions File! Finding out why my Yale officers accepted me

What did Yale admissions officers ~really~ think about me?! Find out how colleges evaluate and admit students! I read my officers’ perspective on high school me and discovered the scores/ranking/evaluation system! Here, I walk you guys through how students are considered from an admissions perspective. Watch to the end to discover my takeaways (surprises and secrets of the decision room)!

It’s fitting I should end my four years here looking at the reasons why Yale thought I was the perfect fit. I get a little ~emo~ at the end. Thanks to everyone who helped me get here—it’s been a wonderful 4+ years.
