<p>TO CONCLUDE
- Well, I visited yale when I was 10 and we were just driving through and I was like "wooooowwww!! mommy!". lol it was kinda funny so yea i've been in love with yale ever since. Plus, it kinda helps that it's #1 in political science, which is what im planning in majoring in.
- I understand my GPA isn't "hot" for yale although I've gotten practically all A's in all my AP classes and I've gone on a huge rising trend (sophomore year weighted: 4.1459- junior: 5.58333). If i get all A's my first quarter senior year (I'll be taking 3 AP's then) my counselor said I have a good chance of making the top 5%
- Anyway, i think my essays will be my best part since i think i've got some really great unique topics involving my passion with international affairs and me having travelled all over will help me with it.</p>
<p>Thanks very much and please be honest!!!</p>
