Eight Early-Action Students from Colorado

ASC Director Shannon Scott sends word that eight early-action students from Colorado have been admitted, although not all have yet accepted Yale’s offer:  three are from Denver, two are from Telluride, and Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Boulder each have one.

A recent Westword article highlights Ayanle Nur, a DSST Green Valley Ranch student and son of Somali refugees : “Nur says that he plans to get on the pre-med track at Yale. ‘I’ve always wanted to help people. Getting into Yale is my first step in realizing the American dream,’ he says. But his fellow DSST Green Valley Ranch seniors see another future for Nur: They voted him most likely to become president.”

Later this year, CYA will have a casual get-together to welcome the Colorado freshman class. If you want to become a volunteer interviewer, contact Shannon: shannony93@msn.com
