<p>do you think being australian would improve the chances of acceptance to yale because of the diversity angle or reduce them?</p>
<p>are their any yale students who know of australians at yale and their experiences?</p>
<p>we have 11 Aussies. but i don't know any of them.</p>
<p>Not particularly. International admit rates are even lower than those for nationals.</p>
<p>also ive been told australian's need to take the sat, does this mean our own exams like TEE will be disregarded?</p>
<p>I wouldn't say disregarded - they'll probably consider it just like they consider everything else, but the SAT will be weighted more.</p>
<p>I'm Australian! Well only by birth since I moved to the US when I was 9 months old. Whoot!</p>
<p>hehe I know one Australian who got into Yale 2 years ago.
His ENTER was 99.95 and his SAT was 1580 I think.</p>
<p>I think if you are Australian you will have a better chance than say, a Korean citizen, but it'd be a long shot. By the way, are you Asian Australian?</p>
<p>no im a caucasion australian. would the fact that i go to a prestigous private school count for anytihng? would they recognise australian schools? </p>
<p>also, the person who got into yale from australia, do you know if he had any "hook" or EC's that were spectacular, that got him in. is 1580 just a really good sat score? i thought it was out of 2400.</p>
<p>y17k- did that aussie you know go to a school in Adelaide? I think I might know him as well from a long long time ago ...</p>
<p>If it isn't- well I knew a guy who was the most amazing chem dude ever. Ambitious and talented. I think he also got a medal at the Chem Olympiads and he also got a rediculously high TER score and SAT etc. He's at Yale now...</p>
