Thanks for the info, Cornell. The teaching fellows thing seems like a really good aspect of Yale that doesn't get a whole lot of attention. I mean, money like that makes a difference. I'm getting very excited about the Visit Day--I hope to see you there, too!
JAubrey, here is a little bit about myself I wrote in another thread: I graduated from a small liberal arts college in 2007 with majors in Music and Art History (studied abroad one semester in Vienna). I lived in Germany for 1 year afterward studying music and then working as an au pair. Then I worked two years in the book publishing industry back in the states. I picked up a Turkic language along the way and got part-time translation work for an archaeological dig.
