On Ivy Day 2019, the Yale Admissions Office invited just under 2,200 students to join the incoming Class of 2023. Though the recent admissions scandal was a story of exceptional admissions cases in their own right, we were more interested in unique tales of adversity, struggle and triumph. We spoke to some of our current classmates about what it takes to get into Yale as an undocumented immigrant, a first-generation low-income student, one of the only students who hails from Alaska, a U.S. Army Ranger, and even someone who didn’t really go to middle school. (All without bribes.)
This episode was co-produced and edited by Matt Udry and Christine Yang. Additional producers include Alejandro Ortega, Aaron Jenkins, Laura Palacio Londono and Tom Murray. Thank you to Andrew Nguyen, Laura Palacio Londono, Bairon Reyes-Luna, Aaron Jenkins, and Naomi M for telling their stories. Original music credits to Eric Krebs.
This episode is the second half of a two part series about Yale Admissions. You can check out our last episode featuring an exclusive interview with the Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Jeremiah Quinlan.

This episode contains violent and sexually graphic language.
In this episode, we’ll be covering the current status of 25-year-old senior Saifullah Khan, who went on trial last February on charges that he raped a fellow Yale student in her Trumbull College dorm room. But in a series of interviews this summer, Jon Andrews, who was Khan's most ardent supporter, said he was sexually assaulted by the man he worked so hard to defend against rape charges. Over the course of their seven-month relationship, Andrews said, Khan sexually assaulted him during an alcohol-fueled threesome in Washington, D.C., last June and physically attacked him on two other occasions. We’ll be hearing from Britt O’Daly, the reporter himself, on the process behind this four-month long investigation. Hosted by Allison Park.
