B's and Yale?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Let me start out by saying, no I do not have straight B's, however I do have quit a few. when I was in middle school my teachers discouraged me, in what I think was them trying a new teaching method (I don't know). Anyways I took 3 high school courses in middle school (IPS, Algebra 1, and Geometry), and they all averaged to be B's unfortunately. :( However when I got to high school I have started making straight A's, with almost all honors and APs. I have some extracurricular activities I could put on my resume like: fencing, tennis, I did a speech to help get a library built in Uganda, and every summer since 6th grade I have done an "educational" program. If I continue to get straight A's and achieve high SAT/ACT scores is it possible for me to get into Yale? Any tips?</p>

<p>If those were C’s you might have a real reason to worry, but they’re not and if you keep up the good grades you should be fine.</p>

<p>^Agreed. </p>

<p>Also, middle school grades aren’t considered in the admissions process AT ALL. </p>

<p>Chance back? :slight_smile:

<p>Even if they are high school? At my school we get our transcripts every so often and I still have those on my report…</p>

<p>Yes I will chance back, and thanks guys! :D</p>

<p>In middle school I took a couple courses like Algebra and Spanish that helped me in placement to higher courses when freshman year started. They showed up on my transcript as Pass Fail only, but I guess they count as real grades for you. You should be fine if the rest of your application is</p>

<p>Yale is a top tier school with a very low acceptance rate, so it’s a reach for everyone. But that said, a few B’s won’t keep Yale from considering. Your stats are excellent and you should be proud! Just don’t slack and you should fare well in college admissions.</p>
