Chance me.. as a current HS sophomore?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I also posted this in the Yale forum, but I wanted to get more output.</p>

<p>So, I've always aspired to an education at Yale University, as I see the school as a place where I can truly grow intellectually and introduce my ideas to others.</p>

<p>Out of sheer curiosity.. does it look as if I am gearing in the right direction as a sophomore in high school to get into the school of my dreams?</p>

<p>SAT I - (practice test) 1850 overall (I'll retake it this summer)
SAT II's - (all to be retaken this spring/ summer, in addition to World History)
E Biology - 540
Mathematics I - 540
Literature - 620 </p>

<p>I had a 97 total average my Freshman year, and took the most challenging/ complete load of class at my school -- taking Honors Math, Accelerated Alg. 2, Honors English, Honors Politics</p>

<p>I am currently taking an AP Biology course, the only AP course available sophomore year.
I plan on taking 4 AP courses next year and 5 AP courses my Senior year.</p>

<p>I plan to go into the field of law, with the intention of helping many throughout my lifetime, so I focused many of my EC's toward the humanities and speech.</p>

<p>So, does it look as if I am on the correct path to Yale? If not, does anyone have any advice of what I should work on?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>low scores… don’t take SAT 2’s without the intention of scoring high…</p>

<p>you look okay right now. I’m also a sophomore (with different focuses in ECs). </p>

<p>On the right track I suppose? Keep it up and you will have a chance.</p>

<p>you can look at the comments I got and use it as a comparing device, even though our profiles are very different. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/783504-chance-sophomore-carnegie-mellon.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/783504-chance-sophomore-carnegie-mellon.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thank you for the feedback. I kind of went into my SAT II’s cold last summer, and it was obvious with my results. I’m also thinking of applying to Carnegie Mellon, so your thread was rather useful.</p>
