@CollegeCraze72 1. Yes I did ACTUALLY get into Yale. 2. I am a she. 3. I applied to Yale because it had a better financial aid policy than Notre Dame. I knew it was much more likely for me to afford Yale than Notre Dame, but I was lucky enough to receive some additional aid in my Notre Dame financial aid package that made it possible to attend my dream school. If this did not happen, I probably would’ve ended up at Yale, a terrific school, but not my dream school. 4. I did apply to Notre Dame early, and then had to apply to Yale on Regular Decision as a result. However, Notre Dame’s financial aid does not come until the end of February, so I still did not know my financial situation. 5) I made sure to reject Yale as soon as I came to a decision so that way one of many deserving students on the wait list could have my spot. However, I was still waiting on some financial information on Notre Dame’s part until last week. 6) I am on this page for two reasons. First, because appfast asked (and many others probably wondered) if anyone was going to reject Yale. Second, because when I was college searching I found these pages tremendously helpful. If there is someone in the future trying to chose between Notre Dame and Yale, I want them to know my reasons so that they can either agree or disagree with them.

I know you’re not trying to be “aggressive”, but quite frankly it’s rude and mean to suggest that someone who earned a spot at Yale did not “actually get in”. You should never assume anything because you can’t ever possibly know the whole story.
