Does anyone know if there were any Yale Alumni murdered on 9/11?

Thanks a lot of freepers sent me this terrible reminder of how evil the Islamofascists are.

I do not know about 9-11 Yale victims, but there is this at Yale.

I finally found this from the yale daily news.

Six Yale alumni died when the first hijacked airplane hit the north tower at 8:46 that morning.

Is that a great alma mater or what?

Frequently Asked Questions
Advice on Applying to Yale College

What does Yale look for?

Students and parents often look for a specific answer to the following question: If a candidate presents A, B, and C, will he or she be admitted to Yale? Unfortunately, so many factors are at play in the selection process that outcomes for most candidates in the pool are impossible to predict. We estimate that over three quarters of the students who apply for admission to Yale are qualified to do the work here. Between two and three hundred students in any year are so strong academically that their admission is scarcely ever in doubt. The great majority of students who are admitted, however, stand out from the rest because a lot of little things, when added up, tip the scale in their favor. The difference between a successful and an unsuccessful candidate at Yale is often painfully small....

In the end, everything in an application matters. The good news is that so many little things figure in an admissions decision that it is fruitless to worry too much about any one of them.
