<p>Yeah, I know we’ve all received thousands of emails/ snail mail in the last year, but I really liked this one. It’s a lot more personal than the usual mass-mailing. It’s written by a student ambassador and says that you’re a competitive applicant yada yada. The email fits the majors and activities you said you were interested in; the girl that wrote mine was majoring in History (even though I’ve changed to economics since I filled out that form). It’s was a nice little touch and different from the usual impersonal junk you receive from most colleges.</p>

<p>How many of you guys liked this letter?</p>

2

<p>I liked it a lot. It was very nice to recieve, it did seem more personal than usual.</p>

3

<p>just out of curiousity, how do colleges get your name/address/etc?</p>

<p>is there anything available to them besides our psat scores?</p>

4

<p>Well, I went to a college fair and filled out the cards for some colleges.</p>

5

<p>i LOVED IT!!! i got mine from an engineering major. i’m wondering if this goes out to everyone, or just the “special club” :-P</p>

6

<p>If by “special club” you mean anyone whose ever responded to Yale correspondence, yeah its a very elite club. ;)</p>

7

<p>What about the application booklet? Do they send those out to all test takers who put them down as a school to send their scores to?</p>

<p>hmm… i didn’t get an e-mail, but i have gotten everything else that yale has sent…</p>

<p>I think that you go on to their website
<a href=“http://www.yale.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.yale.edu</a>
and there go to the Prospective Students position and you will get to see a section called recieve/request more information…</p>

<p>then you can get all the info…</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK</p>

11

<p>yeah i’ve totally done that… hm. ah well.</p>

12

<p>yeah. mine wasn’t specialized by major, he was just in my area. did you guys actually give them your phone number/e-mail back?</p>

13

<p>Aw, man…I haven’t received anything of the sort. They’ve only sent me postcards and a few e-mails <em>sniffles</em></p>

14

<p>Yeah I got the common app booklet from Yale. Seemed sort of over-the-top, since most schools prefer online common apps to be used…</p>

15

<p>hmmn…I haven’t received anything from Yale even though I submitted my info. online for prospective applicant.</p>
