Transfer students overcome hurdles 11.19.08
It is a Friday night, cool and raining, but David Lee ’10 still has plans. In the two hours since dinner, he has finished an assignment for class and changed for the Pierson semiformal at Keys to the City. Now he is striding down High Street toward his fraternity house, where he will pregame the dance and, hopefully, catch the end of the Yale-Stanford basketball game on TV.
While Lee might seem like a well-adjusted Yalie, he transferred from UCLA this semester. Lee is one of just 23 new transfers to Yale this year, and part of a microscopic minority — transfers make up less than 2 percent of Yale undergraduates.
