If you applied for admission to Yale College when you were a high school senior, you probably had an alumni interview. Now, as a graduate, you have the opportunity to interview applicants for admission to Yale College by becoming a member of the local Alumni Schools Committee of your Yale Club. Alumni Schools Committees exist throughout the United States and around the world as a recruiting arm of the Undergraduate Admissions Office. The primary responsibility of an ASC is to interview students seeking admission to Yale College, write brief reports which become a vital part of that candidate's admission folder and then help guide the successful applicant's decision in choosing Yale. It is not enough for Yale to admit the best and brightest students to maintain its excellence.
Admitted students have to matriculate.
Serving as an ASC member is one of the most important and enjoyable services that alumni perform for Yale. Alumni Schools Committees vary widely from area to area, but all need an infusion of young alumni to be successful. It is equally important for an ASC to reflect the diversity of Yale if that diversity is to continue. Your club or association President can put you in touch with the ASC coordinator in your area. If for some reason you are unable to contact your local club President, or have questions regarding Alumni School Committees, please write to Nory Babbitt at the AYA for more information.
