This video was very helpful, at first I had never considered applying to Yale, but seeing the more relaxed and realistic version of it from the perspective of current students helped me understand it more. I am now more motivated to apply, thank you!

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

This is AMAZING!!! I love hearing that -- that is one of the huge points that I want to try to convey. :) I believe in you!!!

[@kazibegum4881]

I was hesitant at first to consider Yale as one of my top choice schools, but after watching your videos and truly seeing the intimate and real side of the school, I'm really in love with it! I just feel that Yale resonates with me and who I am. I am still nervous, I'll admit, on being so in love with a school with the risk of getting rejected, but I am a lot more confident and motivated now to apply! Thank you!

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

This is _exactly_ the reason why I create these videos!!! I'm glad you fell in love with Yale -- keep the confidence, motivation, and positivity up! You'll be happy wherever you end up, but if Yale is the goal, give it your all! I believe in you Kazi! :)

Glad to hear that! Thank you SO MUCH!!! :D

[@allaboutroy7399]

Omg thank you for this video! I just got into Yale and I’m so happy! But I’m also so torn because I got into other ivies as well as Stanford so I don’t really know where to go. Is there any chance I can get to speak with you or any other student on Zoom?🤩

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

Hi! Can you plz talk about what the Yale curriculum requirements are like because I’m sort of confused on that. I’m trying to decide between Brown and Yale and I understand that Brown has an open curriculum but I’m confused on what Yale’s curriculum

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

Hello! What questions do you have specifically about the curriculum?

[@nanayaadwomoh4594]

@@ArnoldSetiadi Hi! I’m not sure if my question makes sense but basically, how does the academic curriculum work? By that I mean like is it like Harvard where only a certain percentage of people can receive an A? Is it simply overly competitive and toxic or is it competitive AND collaborative? Along with that, I’ve been considering Brown due to the open curriculum and freedom it gives u to explore different courses for fun and not always have to excel at every single class. Is Yale somewhat like that? Or will I be required to take certain classes because I really don’t want to take a science course lol. But yeah basically can you just adress the academics, how rigorous the programs are, the program requirements, the grading scale and gpa, and what the student body is like in terms of toxicity?? Also this is random but I’ve often heard that New Haven is dangerous, what would you say about this? Do you feel safe? Thank you so much!

[@sinaiyacob2468]

do you have any tips for international students applying ?

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

Hello Sinai! I do not have any specific advice but you should most definitely start planning as early as you can! Make sure that you don't stress over your test scores or grades but try your best in them as it is your way to show your academic prowess in context of universities in America. Make sure you show your passion through your essays, extracurriculars, and maybe how your unique background helped influence you as a person. If you have any more questions, please email me at [e-mail]!

[@victorialim]

Hey - I don't mean to hijack this convo, but I know how lonely it can feel to be applying as an international student myself so couldn't help but jump in! Here's a video of mine that directly answers your question Sinai, hope it helps :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2XQdYqwrZeZlck (and thanks Arnold for the video! always love hearing what other Yalies have to say about their yale experience :) )
