<p>Your CR score is a significant hindrance.</p>

3

<p>thanks! anyone else please?</p>

<p>He’s from outside the U.S., I’m sure Yale would take that into account</p>

5

<p>you have 20 kids in your class?</p>

6

<p>Yes there’s only 20 students in the class cuz in my country, the “Honor Program” is like regular classes
and thanks for help!</p>

7

<p>what I mean was that student do not stay late at school or gather together at certain time for Honor Program, but the Honor Program class has a independent schedule</p>

<p>I agree with silverturtle. A 600 CR score is like the death penalty for an Asian applicant to an Ivy. Although I still think it’s worth applying, understand that expecting to be admitted would be highly unrealistic.</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, would you be willing to share what country your from and your situation there? If it was a country that Yale rarely got applicants from, you may still have a shot.</p>
