Why it matters
Before choosing a university or major, students need to understand their interests, motivations, abilities, and long-term aspirations.
Universities such as Yale value intellectual curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to explore new ideas. Yale's admissions framework explicitly considers academic potential, contributions to others, and openness to new horizons.
