@CollegeCraze72 Thank You for asking. For reasons very similar to @panic2017 , I chose Notre dame over Yale. You can look at my stats and will see that I not only got into Yale, but was a cross admit for Princeton and Cornell. I applied to these schools for financial aid purposes and to keep my options open. I always imagined myself going to a school like Yale because of its name, but when I arrived on campus I just did not fit in at all.

Keep in mind that I visited during Bulldog Saturday, not Bulldog Days. Also keep in mind that, as I’ve said multiple times, every student has different experiences. If every student had the same experiences that many of you did, Yale would have a 100% yield. But it doesn’t. I chose Notre Dame because I knew it would provide an incredible 4 year experience with incredible academics, and I decided to pass on the prestigious names of the other schools I was considering even though they too offer incredible academics. I hope this answers your question

@IxnayBob lol. Yes the statistic is officially fake news. The students admitted that they were trying to get me not to attend Yale. There’s a reason I didn’t choose Princeton either
