Hello all!

This year I decided to take a year off to work on some things in New York. My activities this year have randomly caused me to spend a lot of time at Harvard, Yale and Columbia (often in the same week).

My extensive time visiting each of these institutions back-to-back has brought me to realize that I totally made the right choice going to Yale. (Something that I was only vaguely sure of when I made my choice, coincidentally, between the three schools I’ve mentioned above).

This post is basically to tell all you 2015 applicants a few things that you’ve probably heard a million times and don’t believe because you’re too stressed out:

1) Apply to places that you actually could see yourself going and being happy at
2) You will get into several lovely schools, don’t worry!
3a) Choose based on your gut feeling, not based on ranking or what your parents/friends say
3b) Read 3a again.

Good luck guys and I hope to see some of you in New Haven next fall!
