<li>Holy crap those ECs are unique. Former Model UNer myself, but the rest are spectacular. </li>
<li><p>A 3.88 GPA is still particularly high. From what I’ve read, Yale does not calculate GPAs for accepted students. Common sense would tell us however, that they have applicants maybe from as low as 3.5 and possibly lower to 4.0s and higher. </p></li>
<li><p>A cold SAT from your Freshman year doesn’t indicate much. I took a cold SAT Sophomore year, got an 1830, and now am at Carnegie Mellon doing Math and CS. </p></li>
<li><p>You can improve in grades and SAT. Down the long run, those aren’t going to be the main factors in who you are as a person. Whether or not you get into Yale (Which I hope you do, and believe you can), you can make a big difference. To have those big ideas as a HS student, I’m impressed. </p></li>

<p>To sum it up, I think it’s important that you do your best to get your “numbers” up to your liking, but to remember to portray yourself best when you apply in the Fall of 2013. You’ve got the goal and seem to have the ambition. Go for it, wherever it may take you.</p>
