Will I be Happy at Yale?

I took classes there this summer and even though I’m too dumb to be able to get in on the regular term, I still [really] feel an attachment to the college, and I am going to work my ass off as an undergrad to try for graduate school there.

There are a ton of things to do if you look a little, the campus is absolutely beautiful, the people aren’t nearly as stuck-up as I thought they would be, and everybody is SO smart - it is a really really wonderful atmosphere to learn in, and I am sure you would love these aspects. As for engineering school, I do not know a whole lot about the programs themselves, but I have been into the eng. building and it is a very modern building, so they seem to be right on top of technology.

I think you will find that most prospective employers (and even graduate schools) do not care where you got your undergrad degree from - the ‘importance’ of getting a degree from a prominent college is much smaller now than in past years. Still, I cannot think of anybody who would NOT like it there. It is a very engaging (and challenging) atmosphere, and lives up to its reputation
