<p>Thanks, these look pretty nice.</p>
<p>Re: Eli v. Transfer, consider that there may only be 5-10 Eli spots (leaning more toward the 5 area), but there are only 15-20 transfer spots. Sure, there are more spots, but the percentage is more in your favor with the Eli folks. The ratio of transfer students/spots is much worse than the ratio of eli students/spots. Granted, there may be fewer qualified candidates applying to transfer… but still.</p>
<p>I think considering the type of person they’re looking for with the Eli program, it’d might be easier to gain admission as a transfer applicant… not many people in the world have a story like escaping from a civil war to study X and doing exceedingly well, and if they don’t consider you non-traditional if you’re in your position because of choices you’ve made (and really, who isn’t?), it doesn’t seem like normal non-traditional applicants gain much by applying to this program vs applying as a transfer.</p>
<p>There are 800 people who apply as transfer students, and they only accept around 25 (4 percent), whereas 50 people apply as Eli Whitney students, and they accept around 5 (10 percent). Based on this, transfer admission is more competitive.</p>
<p>You don’t think people who’d normally apply to the Eli program would be able to stand out more easily amongst the normal transfer students?</p>
<p>This is mainly because Yale has a shortage of housing and the transfer admissions is limited by this shortage. Because this program does not come with housing - they are less constrained but it is still no doubt competitive as the admission rate is at or below 10%. I believe that there were more than 50 applicants last year (I thought I read somewhere it was around 80).</p>
<p>_ken - I’m sure most EWSP students would stand out very well in the transfer program application process, but it really comes down to a question of whether or not their “time off from school” is viewed as a positive or negative in the process… I gather, anyway. I guess in light of some of the commentary on the rejection letters, perhaps it will be tempting to look back at Transfer application process and wish to have taken your chances in the fray… I am second guessing my switch to EWSP, believe me… but I continue to feel that I made the correct decision.</p>
<p>I found that Mike Richter is/was an EW student. Has anyone here won the Stanley Cup multiple times?</p>
<p>Oh, my… that’s a nice reminder of what this program is about–wow!</p>
<p>Who remembers this?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>lol… Didn’t somebody post a link to this…?</p>
<p>Yeah, hilarious by the way - makes one question how to write admissions essays. </p>
<p>Anyone ever watch the film “The History Boys”? essentially, it’s about a group of young men applying to Oxford and Cambridge from a secondary school. Pretty great stuff in that one.</p>
<p>YEah. It definitely does. </p>
<p>I heard nothing today, either via mail or phone. Anybody get anything in the mail/email?</p>
<p>Yeah, I posted that.

<p>Well roll call it’s Saturday 4/18/2009. No news on my end.
What say you?
The way I see it in 21 days we should all know where we stand…</p>
<p>I say that my new mail woman doesn’t get here till 3pm; the original mail man would deliver at 10 or 11. So, I defer till mail arrives.</p>
<p>Mail came, nothing in it pertaining to Yale. Alas, I get a day off from worrying tomorrow. :D</p>
<p>Ha! You think Richter is a big deal. The heir apparent(Victoria) to the Swedish throne was a Eli Whitney student…</p>
<p>I haven’t heard that… I’m wondering if EW accepts any “normal” students. The number of interviews offered to CCers is promising.</p>
<p>Nothing today for me.</p>
