<p>As a parent who just attended Yale Move In and the Opening Ceremony, I can tell all of you what Yale is looking for! </p>
<p>They want SMART kids first of all. So, do well on your tests and get excellent grades! Then they want TALENTED kids. So be really really good at something and be PASSIONATE about it. Then they want DIVERSITY!!! They are interested in the kids that are German,1/4 Black,Suburban whatever! Combinations are good, DIVERSITY is what they want. Multi Racial, OTHER, it’s all good. Yale understands that America is a melting pot and they want students that reflect that. They want the rich kid, the international kid, the poor kid, the middle class and everyone in between. They have a vision of the world changing to be a place where we all accept each other for exactly who we are. They want to accept students who can show that they will be a part of this movement! Good luck, be yourself, be smart and hope that Yale finds you INTERESTING!</p>
