This is my final draft of the Yale Supplement (the short questions). Just wanted to hear your opinion : do they seem to fit, or are they a little bit cliché and superfluous?
Corrections are welcomed as usual :)
What in particular about Yale has influenced your decision to apply?As a person very fond of History, what first appealed to me about Yale was its gothic architecture. Yet, I was mainly persuaded me to apply is its reputation of academic excellence and its offers for an eclectic education that blend Ethics, Politics and Economics in one major. Furthermore, its exchange programmes provide with a vast perspective of the world's diversity that serve as a guide to those whose main goal for the future is a career in International Development.
What would you do with a free afternoon?Feeling that I have neglected my brother lately, I would spend an afternoon with him, probably visiting our favourite bookstore, or eating a sandwich.
Recall a compliment you received that you specially value. What was it? From whom did it come?I know that if I want something done, I should always call you - my employer at the American Embassy of Tirana
If you were to witness one moment in History, what would that be and why?The First French Assembly in 1789, because it would be interesting to witness the intellectual transition of a population kept under the rule of absolutism for centuries.
What do you wish you were better at doing?Considering my passion for colors, details and harmony, I wish I was better at painting.
If you were choosing students to form a Yale class, what question would you ask here that we have not?If you were to live one day as fictional character, who would that character be and why?
