Candid Perspectives from a Former Yale Admissions Officer

Join us in this second event in our Affirmative Action series with a candid chat with former Yale Admissions Officer, James Kim (YC'11). Pulling from his experience as a Yale Admissions Officer, James will provide a candid, insider's view of the applicant review process. If you've ever been curious how Yale reviews applicants, then this is an event you should not miss! Additionally, James will also share his perspectives on how the recent Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action may impact admissions.  

Please note, this event will not be recorded.
