Personal Story
"I was thrilled to get into Yale. I wasn't too sure I would make it, but I decided to apply anyway. I thought that worst case scenario they'd say 'no' and I could live with that. So I decided to just apply and see what happened."
Useful Advice
"I'd say that they should think and do things differently. For example, usually people who like STEM courses participate in STEM oriented activities like Math league, or Science Olympiad, or something similar. However, if someone who took STEM courses did poetry club or was editor of the school news paper or was on their schools debate team, they would stand out.
I believe that this is what helped me stand out. While I am and will always be interested in science and math and engineering, the fact that I combined the two seemingly incompatible areas of humanities and engineering it helped me skyrocket past a lot of other people.
I'm advise them to go outside their strict circle of competence and try flirting with other areas and ideas."
