Yale is elite even among the Ivy League. With a tremendous amount of resources, personal attention for the students, and gothic architecture, students are able to do extraordinary things. Two hours outside of New York City by train, Yale students take full advantage of what is around them.

TIPS FOR THE APPLICATION PROCESS?
13% of the students Yale enrolls are legacies, so they definitely count that in their admissions process. They only recommend one extra letter of recommendation if you’ve done scientific research. International students account for 15% of all admits, coming from 118 other countries.

FUN FACTS?
Yale actually moved several times before settling in New Haven. Also Yale students/grads are called “Elis” after the man who gave the money to start the school (not me)!
