<p>Someone told me that yale looks negatively on being a dual citizen, which isn’t fair cuz its not something I can help. I also heard Early action will do you no good and your more likely to be rejected in that time if your not a legacy. Then I heard that you can only have 1 or 2 major interest in high school and then completely immerse yourself. They said students that are well rounded or have 3 or 4 major interests are weak applicants and have virtually no chance. True or false? I have no personal opinions on if these are right or wrong I’m just curious and want to clear things up.</p>
<p>my son applied EA and was accepted, he is not a legacy an did not have any hooks just great scores and a few extras that he was very involved in.Do not listen to rumors if you think you have a chance just apply. good luck</p>
<p>Thanks so much</p>
<p>Also, I did a lot of completely unrelated things in HS. I tried to make it look like I had a passion for Cross-Country Skiing, but there’s only so much you can do. Of course, Yale doesn’t even have a Cross-Country ski team so that probably shouldn’t have made a huge difference.</p>
<p>But yeah, I only applied RD.</p>
<p>Seriously though, don’t worry about that stuff. You’ll get too stressed out. Just do what you like doing, and if that includes a little MUN, a little Math, and a little soccer, just do those. You’ll wind up at the place that you’re supposed to go.</p>
<p>So it is not true that Yale frowns upon students with multifarious extracurricular activities? Obviously they prefer students that are focused on and dedicated to one or two things, but just how important is it?</p>
<p>i’m a dual citizen and was accepted…don’t worry about that!</p>
<p>every case is different, rumors dont necessarily mean anything on an individual basis</p>
<p>im a nonlegacy nonminority and i got in early</p>
