<p>We need to talk because as soon as I get in, I’m planning on starting a new organization to help feed the homeless. Tell me if you want to join me</p>
<p>My goodness, you sound very confident about your chances of admission. Could I see a light high-school resume? </p>
<p>What makes you different from all 22,000 other applicants?</p>
<p>Because certainly you’ve evaluated the organizations extant already at Yale, found out weaknesses in the social services for the indigent in the New Haven area and feel you’ve built the better mousetrap, right? Because we all know that your utmost goal is to feed people and not just be the head of an organization, right?</p>
<p>Admirable intent (maybe). Suspect methodology. I can probably find you a list of current Yale volunteer org leaders who’d roll their eyes at this post.</p>

<p>Edit: are you for real or are you a ■■■■■?
Your recent posts have said within a 24 hour period: What’s SCEA and an URM? Is SCEA binding? How do you apply SCEA? When you visit Yale next month can you meet the dean? Do you have your own mail box or a PO Mail box once enrolled?</p>
<p>Really? And now this?</p>
<p>Connormautner: I believe it was 26000 applicants</p>
<p>I meant to say if, oh and because my friends at GeorgeTown, Princeton, John Hopkins and Harvard all have organizations where they feed the poor and more particuarily with pb&j sandwhiches that have been donated from local markets and every major school on the east coast has it accept for Yale. oh and lol I wasnt looking for a leadership positions TRUST me I already have far too many and I’m being completely over cooked as is. My intentions are good, I just didnt want to see Yale (hopefully my future) school not be on the community service list for most hours made and not recieving a merrit award. Oh and I dont want to be the leader lol I just want it named after me :)</p>
<p>oh and T2 bro I completely understand where your coming from with the idea that I’m probably just trying to do this for attention or just trying to get a position and I would completely agree but Im just a guy that loves to prepare for the future and If I wasnt the one who wrote that I would probably be rolling my eyes to thinking yeah right your desparate little high school kid</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s very noble of you… that is if we had local supermarkets.</p>
<p>True, but we could drive to Hartford and get donations there.</p>
<p>AveTon: U should understand our skepticism. Your tone suggests that you see yourself as some messiah for the homeless in New Haven. What I’m telling you is that there have been generations of civic minded, socially conscious young men and women at Yale – and the agenda and needs of the homeless has not been overlooked.</p>
<p>Your seeming “Move aside everyone. I’ve arrived and I’ll fix all the problems” stance without even knowing any issues of the homeless community extant in New Haven is…</p>
<p>… rather foolish looking. Tone it down a notch but bring your heart and energy to aid others to wherever you attend – probably with whatever existing organization in that community. It’s not about your being desperate: I’ll assume it’s good intentions. Nor is it about “being prepared” – but to just assume from the jump off that your plan will trump the others already in place is frankly, rankling.</p>
<p>hmmm Do you go to Yale?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The better question is do you??</p>
<p>@Connor, I would post my resume, but I dont have enough time in the world and since I already have a ton of friends who go to Yale, Harvard, GeorgeTown, Princeton, and John Hopkins, so I already know what my chances and what I have to fix. Just know I think your 4.04 is more than AMAZING and your online store is BRILLIANT!!</p>
