**__Getting In ( how good do your grades have to be, what tests do you need to take and how do you need to do, how much does the school cost, how is their financial aid?):__**
[] To get into Yale your grades have to be straight As. Since this is a private school you have to take several tests. Some of the tests you have to take are The SAT Reasoning Test and SAT Subjects Test or ACT also you need to do a essay. You have to maintain your straight A average in order to be in Yale. It costs $46,000 but it meets 100% of your need as long as you keep your grades up. So technically the financial aid works with you but you need to keep ya grades up if your grades go down so does the percent of the need given to you. My rating for this category is a 4 out of 5 because they meet 100% of your need but you have to work extra hard to keep the average that you have.

**__Academics (majors the school has, class size, access to professors, special programs, study abroad):__**
[] Yale has 90 majors available and you can even make your own if you want to. If you are not interested in any of the majors they have at Yale you can make your own by combining two subjects and make it into what you are interested in. The class sizes are great because you can have more of a connection towards the teachers. The classes are 20 students to a class so when you are having trouble you have more attention. Also there are Study Skills Assistance, Tutoring and Writing Centers to help you out. Also there are 300 clubs available at Yale in order for you to enjoy your life on campus. They also study abroad, they can go to places like France on any semester. Study abroad is when they pay for your trips to any other country and you can learn while outside of the country. My rating for this category is a 4 out of 5 because, the school has various things to do that fits your interest.

**__Student life (social life at school, housing, fraternities and sororities, sports):__**
[] The student social life at Yale is great. They have 12 residential houses that they are split into when they first attend Yale. Like I mentioned before they have 300 clubs to join at Yale. They have different sports like Archery, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Cheerleading, Cricket, Cross-Country, Diving, Equestrian, Fencing, Field Hockey, Football, Golf, Gymnastics, Ice Hockey, Judo, Lacrosse, Racquetball, Rifle, Rowing (Crew), Rugby, Skiing, Soccer, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis, Track And Field, Track: Indoor, Track: Outdoor, Ultimate Frisbee, Volleyball, Water Polo, and last but not least Wrestling. All of these clubs and sports are available for both Men and Women. They also have fraternities for the boys and sororities for girls. My rating for this category would be a 5 out of 5 because it shows that you can still have a social life even though you have to be focused on working hard on maintaining your grades.

**__My Comfort level (getting back and forth, demographics, setting):__**
[] My comfort level towards Yale as far as going back and forth is fine because its not that far away. The setting is a urban setting which makes me feel like i'm somewhat at home. The demographics are fine even thou it's a wide variety of people I can deal with it because in a urban setting there are always lots of people around. Out of all the students 49% are White, 16% are Asian, 11% are Non-Resident Alien, 9% are Hispanic/Latino, 7% are Black/African American, and 6% are two or more races. I give this category a 3 out of 5 because I can't be on a road for so long but I do like that it's om a urban setting and that you can have lots of different people around you.
