Re: Yale GEPN Fall 2010

I would also love the online chat transcript.

thanks!

Dee, I remember hearing that the average GPA was 3.47, but I don't think there is a minimum , you should still try, you might surprise yourself!!! I'm sure they look at other things other than just GPA.

I know that Columbia, BC, UPenn, all have direct entry. I think northeastern has a program as well, but I believe that it is 4 years while all the others are 3 years. I hope that helps!

Thank you for your responses! I think I might still try to apply despite my years worth of horribly bad grades (and I really mean bad, like C/D/F bad). I think I may try the next online chat too, the one on Oct. 9th. Thanks again, and good luck to everyone applying!

I re-copied the PS and pasted it into a word document and it changed the font to 12, monaco. This made it 5 pages long :0 Now it said on the application you could use 11 point font, so that's what I did (I used Times New Roman too). Does this mean that i have to do some major copying and pasting or will they change it? Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'm so nervous that I'm going to have to do this whole thing over again.

Yes, the same thing happened to me!! I was wondering how they would know what our original font sizes and styles were. Hopefully, this will not count against us in any way.....

I am working on my essay and had not realized it is single spaced! I had been working under the assumption is was double spaced. This helps me a ton! Still, I find the fact we must answer the questions in order very difficult!

Re: Yale GEPN Fall 2010

I emailed Angela asking her about the essay font size. I'll let you guys know what she tells me.

Re: Yale GEPN Fall 2010

I heard back from Angela today. Here's what she had to say:

The online system automatically changes the font. It’s an annoying problem to say the least! My suggestion is to write a note in the box that you are submitting the statement to me via email. I can just print it out and add it to your file. Just keep in mind that you should have regular 1” margins and a regular font like Times New Roman or Arial 11pt at the smallest. No Arial narrow… or tricky fonts. You really will want the faculty members to be able to easily read your essay. No need to get them annoyed by using a difficult to read font. And feel free to share this info on discussion boards, etc… so that the word gets out. However, I’m hoping that not everyone will be emailing a separate essay to me…

Basically, if you're really worried about your font, email it to her. However, seeing as I FINALLY got my essay to just under two pages at 12pt. Times New Roman, I'll be submitting it via electronic application.

Hope that helps everyone!

Re: Yale GEPN Fall 2010

Thanks!! Very helpful, now does this mean that I can't have Times New Roman in 11 pt? Just Ariel? Oh boyyy

Re: Yale GEPN Fall 2010

You can write in Times New Roman or Arial. She just doesn't want to see any radical fonts. Also, 11 pt is the smallest font size allowed. I wrote mine in Times New Roman, 11 pt.
