<p>Oh and on campus interview went really well. Along with my future plans with Yale, the interviewer was really interested in my advocacy/fundraising activites for cancer patient including my own organization (YouCAN). He asked me if I will continue on with the similar activites at Yale… so I said OF Course… I stayed in New Haven for a week… jeez i went there all the way from Korea to interview. haha well I liked it very much especialy because my friend introduced me a student who is a freshman at Yale.</p>
