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.

The Yale-Harvard football game is one of most anticipated events, but this year, the tradition faces controversy. A four-hour ticket line nightmare, a Fenway park problem, and the unsettling leave of Yale’s captain of the football team in the midst of a sexual misconduct investigation could explain why the hype leading up to “The Game” has been so lackluster this year. Hosted by Allison Park. Guests: Lorenzo Arvanitis, Jever Mariwala, Serena Cho, Alice Park, and Lindsay Jost.
Co-producer and Sound Engineer: Brandon Liu
Graphic Designer: Jack Adam
