This story sounds kind of made up. I read the YDN article, and all it really seemed to mean was that they wanted sex week toned down and turned into something a little more Title IX-friendly. I hate to break it to you, but Yale's right to come down on the side of caution in the fallout of the lawsuit. If something risks someone feeling that it encourages a sexual environment that they're uncomfortable with, then they're going to eliminate it. They don't get to pick and choose the things that bloggers agree or disagree with. It's also *highly* unlikely that organizers ever got kickbacks, and it's *highly* unlikely that a small action on the part of conservative students had anything to do with it.

Here's a bit of advice. Don't "look pretty heavily" into anything before you get here. It's a dangerous thing to be so set on one major before you even start taking classes. You don't need to declare your major until the very end of your sophomore year, and you can easily complete most majors (with the exception of difficult science ones like MB&B) with your remaining time. Spend your first couple semesters taking intro courses across a variety of disciplines in order to find out what you like. That way, you'll know that you are majoring in something that interests you and you will hopefully have already taken 1 or 2 classes from it. That said, I'm a sophomore who just recently decided to major in Comp Sci & Psych - is anyone here majoring in that?

Finance as a subject of study doesn't exist at any Ivy League schools with the exception of Wharton (UPenn). So, Econ it is. Econometrics is widely regarded as the toughest econ course, but in terms of workload it's not much more than most other econ classes--which basically means reading if you feel like doing it and a problem set per week. To clarify, there are a few finance-related classes within the econ curriculum, and there's an accounting course (which is pretty much reserved for Seniors going into consulting/i-banking), but there's no way to strictly study finance on an undergraduate level. You can cross-enroll in some b-school courses, though. Poli Sci will have a bunch of reading and paper writing. You will do a lot of reading. A lot. Don't get me wrong, you'll still have time to do extracurriculars, but if you're competitive and want to have a good GPA you'll have to put in a fair amount of time. There's no way around it, especially if you're doing liberal arts stuff (i.e. reading and paper writing).

It's Technically for weekends. Commons workers don't care . I didn't know my swipes weren't working until WEEKS of double swiping. If you want to be safe, just make sure when you go into Commons there are people behind you inline--then the workers won't even look at your card. Also, one of the card swipers is super disinterested and will let you in no matter what (actually, most of them will let you in no matter what, as long as you don't have problems with your card too often. I've forgotten my card a million times though and they always let me in )

The interview is the least important part of the application. It's purpose is to screen out people who are completely socially awkward--Yale has a really vibrant social life, and it's because of the people. We don't hide out in labs/study all day: we work hard, but we play hard too. And we look for people who fit that profile (the cliché is that "Yale looks for leaders," but it's more like Yale looks for relatively normal people who happen to be inordinately talented/smart). If you can hold a conversation, talk about current events fluently, and manage to be courteous, you'll be fine. There's no reason to stress about it at all.

Knight_of_Reason is correct. From what I understand, they will discourage people from skipping core classes, but if you think you can, it's your decision. If you are a CS major and skip any of the core classes, I think they'll make you make it up by taking additional advanced classes in order to graduate.

How much programming background do you have? It's good to know how to program before starting so you don't have to take CS112, which is a waste of a precious Yale credit. If you don't already know how, teach yourself. It's not too hard. From there, the required classes are 201 (Intro CS theory), 223 (Data structures/C language), 323 (System programming/awesome), and 365 (Algorithms). Since I wasn't a CS major, I didn't have to take the first two, and took 323 and 365 as my first two CS classes. From what I've heard, 201 is fun, and 223 is boring. 223 is skippable if you know C and the material from AP CS AB or equivalent class (basic complexity theory, sorting, searching, common data structures). The CS department doesn't like majors skipping any of those four classes, but it can be done. I took both of the second two, and they are both very fun, interesting, and useful. 323 kind of picks up where 223 leaves off. It's taught by the awesome Stan Eisenstat, and weeds out failed potential CS majors. It has the reputation as the hardest CS class (even one of the hardest at Yale). I personally think that the reputation is kind of an exaggeration, but I know people who failed it. It teaches about how computers work on an operating systems level, and will give you the knowledge you need for further concrete CS classes. The reason it is considered so hard are the assignments. Most feared is the LZW assignment where you write own file compressor and decompressor. There is a new assignment every week or two. Stan has people log how long they work on the assignments, and some can well get over 20 hours on average. He grades with a script that thoroughly tests your program (including some ridiculous edge cases), which gives a point for each test passed. It teaches to pay close attention to correctness when you program. 365 is a more theoretical course. It is taught by Dan Spielman, who is a great teacher and a really nice guy. He actually took CS323 from Eisenstat when he was a Yale undergrad. It is survey course on various topics in algorithms. He covers the basic techniques in the algorithmic toolkit, such as divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, randomized algorithms, dynamic programming, and others. The classes puts some emphasis on analyzing algorithms for time complexity and other crucial aspects. Homework is entirely written (i.e. not programming). Most questions will ask you to come up with a algorithm for some new problem. The time you spend on it can vary wildly. Some problems, you'll solve immediately. For others, you can think for days without progress until you get sudden inspiration. From there, you can take the advanced classes, which is where the real fun starts. Yale has a fairly large variety of classes available, given how small the department is. You take what you find interesting. The two I personally recommend are Operating Systems and Compilers, but your interests may lie elsewhere.

White pie, with either bacon or chicken. The more famous version is mashed potato bacon pizza but it's a little on the saltier side so feel free to give the chicken a shot for a more tempered flavor. Don't question. Just trust. I'm old and wise. =p And go earlier in the day/evening; if you go after a certain hour (9 pm maybe?) they start carding.

New Haven has some really good restaurants and much wider variety than what you'd expect given the size of the city. However, now that I'm away, there are only three that I really miss: Miya's, Claire's, and Caseus. Miya's, in additional to being excellent in terms of taste and presentation, is the most unique restaurant I've been to. Claire's is a very good vegetarian restaurant. Caseus is focused on cheese. It is on the expensive side, but is very good.

Miya's for dinner (Howe and Chapel). No question. Get Firecracker Sake, Rompin' with the Goats roll, Itallian Stallion roll, and Kwanzaa Bonanza roll (and anything else you think you'll like, it's all good). If you go at 11 you can get specials. Get a reservation. For lunch, go to Louis' Lunch (Crown between High and College), it's the place the first burger was ever put on a bun. Not sure of their hours, but there's a bunch of places nearby there that'll be good. The place is tiny and usually has a long line, so if there's a lot of you, make sure you have a lot of time.

I feel like this needs to be said but, when setting up a screw date, it's helpful to be kinda vague and gender neutral with the suggestions. Let the roommate tell you who he/she wants or have them list people they might like. It saves those of us who were closeted during freshman year a lot of awkwardness. Just a thought! **tl; dr- don't assume your roommate is straight**

Even sadder is the steady flow of Elis into cooky-cutter lives on the conveyor belts of medicine and law. At least consultants lay a decent base for pivoting into a life of entrepreneurship or social innovation. When I got out of Yale, half my class flocked into law or medicine. They couldn't resist climbing an obvious, clearly gradated ladder.

Last year for Morse screw we made my roommate and his screw date run around Old Campus saying lines of a poem. When they found the person whose couplet matched theirs, they knew who it was. Not too complicated, but it worked well, and it was kinda cute.

It looks like there was more to do here in 1879 than 2011.

Let me just say out of experience that trying to wrangle access to edit Yale websites is a PITA. Yeah there's a club team I'm pretty sure

Much ado about nothing. Consulting and finance are the two industries where you can make the most money the most quickly. And they're also the fast-track to PE. It's really no great mystery why people who can take those jobs do take those jobs. Where else can you make six figures out of school and have a shot at $300k+ two years down the line?

Well to be honest, based on that website, the Yale Badminton Team must be lost somewhere between the 90s and the animated gif shop. On a serious note, there is a club team that practices out of Payne Whitney.

I thought it was more like 50% were corporate lawyers or ibankers in NYC. I ended up a software consultant.

Well, to be honest, even I applied to consulting jobs and I'm med-school bound (after a year or two off). Yale just has a way sucking you into this career path.

Well... I can't say any of those choices are "bad" majors since a lot of law students have those backgrounds, but I'm generally of the opinion that all else being equal (ie: barring a real interest in a particular field), you can use your major to stand out and gain specialized knowledge that other applicants to law school wouldn't have. Lawyers who understand technology/science are very much in demand, and law schools will certainly look favorably upon someone with an unusual background (ie: not philosophy/history/polisci/psych/english). Then again, if you don't actually have an interest in a particular field, you shouldn't major in it. I'd say for applying to Yale for undergraduate though, the only thing that will really help your application is if you put something like Mechanical Engineering or Physics as your intended major. Don't lie though - if you have no demonstrated interest in those fields, that statement of interest is worthless.

I don't think they really take it into account unless you put something like Engineering, since people switch around so much once they actually get to Yale. (You're also picking the wrong major for planning law school, but that's just my opinion)

good luck, and though it might not be 100% applicable, there's a great [thread](http://www.reddit.com/r/mit/comments/kmj7n/protips_for_the_application_interview/) on tips for an MIT interview, including some from an interviewer!

A letter sounds like a great idea! I'll definitely be doing that. On a slightly unrelated note, I've seen Physics and Philosophy on Yale's list of majors and it has always intrigued me. What exactly is it?

Be yourself. It really is more of a conversation and a way they to get to know parts of you that aren't already learned on transcripts, recommendations, or whatever else, and a way to get you any information you want about the college. "Advising" in a general sense is just the system Yale uses to give students advice or aid them. We have Deans, Masters, Career Services, faculty advisers, etc that make up what "advising" is at Yale, and help you plan your studies or learn about opportunities after college.

I know this is the best course of action. I'm just really, really nervous, because Yale is (brace yourself for cliche) truly my dream and this is the one shot I have at making an impression on the admissions officer. Out of curiosity, what does 'advising' refer to?

My biggest piece of advice is to be yourself. As cliche as that sounds, it's important for YOU to come across in this interview. Be honest with your questions: if you're actually worried about striking a balance between doing research and performing in whatever, for example, ask about that! If you're curious about advising, ask about that! And so on and so forth.
