Advice needed!! Grade 10 Canadian student

Hi! Im a grade 10 student, and my dream college is yale. I know it may seem unrealistic because many people who were once my age dreamt of such things. I know its really hard but I want to know what extra curriculars can get me a chance into getting a spot at yale in 2 years.

Any word from Yale Preview Days 2024?

Hi! So I’m a prospective PhD student and I submitted the form for the Yale Preview Days. I sent an email to the coordinador of the program asking when we will receive an answer and she gave me the date for the 23rd of September.

Its the 24th and I’ve received no answer not even a rejection. Is this normal? Do I send the coordinator another email? I really don’t know what to do.

Acapella

Can you rush acapella as a sophomore? Are you odds as good as getting tapped as a freshman? Has a sophomore ever been added to an acapella?

Private spaces to hang with friends

We're looking for a relatively secluded place that a friend group could use to hang out, watch movies, or pregame. Our roommates all suck so common rooms aren't an option. Think empty suites (we've discovered two so far, but too many people started going and they got shut down). Please help a girl out.

Need to talk with an art department student or alumnus.

Someone who is admitted with a supplemental arts portfolio is also fine.

Are there any secret societies for grad students and how does one become a part of it? Can grad students join undergrad secret society or sorority?

Will I be out of place as an introvert?

I’m a recruited athlete on the crew team and I’ve heard they drink and go out a lot, and that that attitude extends to the majority of the university. As someone who rarely goes out and doesn’t drink, will I be socially isolated?

Thanks

[ADVICE] Thoughts on MPH/MBA at Yale?

Hi everyone! Looking for some advice. I want to pursue a dual degree program (MBA/MPH) and am looking into Yale. I haven't been able to chat with any dual degree students. Could anyone speak to their experience at Yale? I'm looking for an integrated program between the 2 degrees and a collaborative culture at the school. I'm also hoping to focus on the social impact field and want to know if Yale is a good fit for me.

I'm 2 years out of undergrad with full-time work experience. Don't know if Yale looks down upon students under 4-5 years of work experience. Any advice is helpful, thank you!!

How much should I pay to hire a yale student English tutor?

I am an international grad student in Yale. English is not my first language and I struggle to understand people’s reference during conversation. It’s getting more stinging as I want to make more friends and express myself. I am looking to hire an English tutor who can teach me cultural reference and idioms. All I need from my tutor is polite, chill, born and raised in US, a bit sense of humor and browse social media (so they can help me understand the comments on TikTok or standup comedies and what’s happening in the news). The format of tutorship I expect is to watch shows/social medias/news together and help me pick up references and exchange thoughts during the process. However, I want my tutor to be Yale affiliated (because I am also from Yale and want to lower the risk of meeting sketchy people), what should be a fair price range before I post an ad? Does $30/h seem like a fair price?

(Aside from the question, if you are Yalie and you are interested in tutoring me, feel free to DM or help me spread the words)

Branford God(dess) Quad Size?

I'm writing a book and I read about the God Quad inside Branford residential college Yale that is funded by the college to throw parties, the people living there are voted by other residents, and its open often for people to hang out. Does anyone know how big the space actually is or how many bedrooms? Tryna see if it's plausible to fit activities like beer pong or dancing or if it's like a decrepit hallway.

Housing opinions/advice

Hi all!! I recently accepted a post grad position at Yale’s SOM and wanted some advice on the best apartments around that area or about housing in general. I’ve tried various fb groups but it seems like a lot of people are just scammers or are asking a hefty price for a room. Any help/guidance would be helpful since I’ve been looking at various websites regarding housing!

Also if anyone is a PGA please let me know how your experience has been with the position!

Is it acceptable talking to random people on campus?

Hi, I’m not a student at yale, but I’ve always admired the “ivy league” prestige, and have always wondered how students at yale think.

I have an occasion to pass by and might as well stop and try talking to some of you guys?

Do you think it’s acceptable? Is it kind of weird or creepy?

Thank you for your answers!

queries

is it worth submitting a SAT score of 1470 to Yale- will that be good enough or should it be left out completely? Also for anyone who did International A levels, does a predicted grade of 2 A*s, 1 B and 1 A lower your chances than if you had 2 a*s and 1a? How would they consider the grades? And is there an advantage of applying early action at all?

Toad's: Bowling For Soup

Howdy, does anyone know someone selling a BFS ticket or if there is a reselling market for Bowling For Soup at Toad's next Thursday (Sep 19th). They sold out all tickets online and going to the box office was not helpful.

Yale student culture

I am taking a gap year and my essays are revolved around the idea that i was forced to study stem and now I’m rediscovering my interest, even though with perfect grades i realise I’m not into stem. So I am wondering if I would be a fit for Yale.

Are students at Yale all as competitive, geeky, already know what they are passionate about type as compared to the rest of HYPSM?

October recess for GSAS grad students

I’m trying to book travel tickets in advance. Calendar says “Oct 15 Tuesday — October recess begins after last academic obligation”. Does that mean the break starts on Oct 16 or 15?

Also I’m not sure if grad students are required to attend group meetings etc on Oct 15. I think the Local 33 Union has a contract with GSAS stating group meetings aren’t to be placed in the middle of school breaks. Could anyone confirm?

Thank you guys :)

help please

hello everybody first of all, thank you for taking your time to read my post as a child. I have always wanted to go to Yale, but I did not knew how to ,I'm not from the US, in my freshman year, I have started building up my extracurriculars so far I have participated in MUNs made a presentation as a panelist on water crisis and its related effects on basic human rights in my school participated in the organization of an etwinning day I also landed the third level in national stage of kangaroo international language, Olympiad b1 level (the level you enter the Olympiad is based on your age my English level is I guess around B2.2 and c1) and I'm trying to participate in more activities so I can build up strong extracurriculars. I'm currently a sophomore in the ninth grade My GPA 92 out of hundred this year I am also planning to publish a newspaper in English, which I will be the editor in chief, but the thing is, I have no idea about what to do in my SATs I can do the normal reading part. I believe but they writing and language part is kind of hard for me because I am not so familiar with grammar and everything also my math is not so bad actually the SAT Math is easier compared to my countries exams, but I do not know the mathematical terms in English so it is kind of hard for me to understand as for questions properly if any of you could give me any advice I would be so so grateful anyways thank you so much
