Yale grad — happy to help anyone comparing schools
Hey! I graduated from Yale a few years ago and I'm currently an alumni interviewer. I also coach students through the application process.
I know the "help me pick" decision can feel paralyzing, especially when you're comparing schools that are good in different ways. Happy to share my perspective on any comparisons — especially if one of your options involves an Ivy, a top liberal arts college, or a big state school. I've talked to enough students and seen outcomes to have informed opinions on the tradeoffs.
I actually wrote a guide on how to build a balanced school list that covers how to think about reaches, matches, safeties, and fit: https://www.tryarzo.com/blog/balanced-school-list
Drop your comparison below or DM me. Hopefully can help a few of y'all out 😄
