Personal Story
"I was pretty surprised when getting into Yale, but it wasn't something I was too shocked about.
I knew that I was a good student so I knew I had a decent chance of getting into Yale, but actually getting in was a completely different story. It was different actually holding the acceptance letter in my hand and seeing it on the screen. I didn't expect to be as excited as I was, but it was pretty exciting."
Useful Advice
"It's hard to really isolate one thing which may have been the thing which got me into Yale, but I think that an important one for me was having a mentor who already attended Princeton.
I met my mentor through a tutoring company and learning center a couple years back . and he had just become a sophomore at Princeton. After bothering him for a bit we became friends and he finally decided to become my tutor and help me try to get to Princeton. I didn't end up going to Princeton, but having him pretty much hold my hand through the entire process of picking schools, doing financial aid, and writing the essay played a huge part in my getting into Yale."
