<p>Before anything, what’s your class rank? 9/50 or 9/900?</p>

<p>Second, if I’m being honest, your application is too common. There are going to be hundreds of applicants with the same ECs and higher stats and will be rejected. If you want to get into Yale, and I would even say BostonU, you need to blow them out of the park with your essays. These are going to have to be your best essays that you will ever write in your life.</p>

<p>Show them in painfully beautiful imagery that you have a passion, without actually using the word passion. Describe how an event changed your life, etc</p>

<p>That math score might hold you back</p>

4

<p>9/252 and thank you! That is the kind of advice I need</p>
