Consortium R2 calls and emails went out today and conclude tomorrow.
Was lucky enough to be offered a spot. Am very likely to matriculate (pending financial aid).
Would love to hear from those who chose Yale over other schools in R1. What was your decision based upon and what other schools were you considering?
For me, in all honesty, it was 40% about the program and the sense that the school is on the cusp of really big things, 10% about the new building, and 50% about the other people I met at Winter Welcome, and the admitted student events we've been having. We've been arranging, on our own, an informal happy hour every couple of weeks for admits in the NY-metro, and I've gotta say, it backs up the fact that these people are awesome. PM me if you want to talk more.
Good luck with your choosing. Go with your gut.
