<p>Go ahead and pursue your Yale dream. But Haycyonheather is right… pretty much nobody gets into Yale. I know 3 different spectacular students who went to Harvard as their backup in the past few years because they did not get into their first choice (Yale).</p>
<p>So… like pretty much everyone else on CC, you also need to put a lot of energy into finding schools that actually match your statistics to apply to. It is okay to have a couple of reaches, but you really must spend energy finding matches (where your scores are above the 50%) that you can also afford. Georgetown is still a big reach for you given your GPA. </p>

<p>This is really a pretty poor reason to pick a college, IMHO. Between the “relationship” comments and the “powerful people” comment, you actually sound very shallow in your thinking. And… “have a relationship with” is not an EC. When you HAVE the internship in hand, then you have something you can use in college admissions.</p>

<p>B grades in Physics, Calc, AND Spanish, along with your potentially low test scores, show that high school and standardized testing are already humbling you. It is unlikely that a top university would take you on for further humbling. Just trying to be clear here. Unless you win some major award or something with your work before college apps are due, you are not going to get into a tippy top university.</p>
