<p>Please see if i am good enough for yale
i am a ninth grader indian boy who has already published a book that sells all over the country giving meyself a living income since the eitht grade and i shall also write two to three more books till i apply. In india there is very very less scope for ecs compared to america which i hope to tell the interviewer. But yet my articles have featured in the top newspapers of the country and the top three newspapers have written articles on me. I have been selected as one of the 60 out of 30k applicants to take part in a prestigious journalism programme because of my essay. I also represent the library and literature department in my school council aaannnd i am in the most prestigiouus school in my country. I haave done tons of social service including raising money to feed and educate 100 streetside children alone and raise enough money to bring electricity to a rural drought stricken village. I also plan to volenteer at an elephant orphanage in kenya. I am in the top half of my class but in no way an exceptional student. Will i stand out as an applicant by being an author of a 250+ page book at such a young age in such an unencouraging country</p>
<p>Ps i have also founded my school magazine</p>
<p>Same advice as given to you in the Harvard and Princeton fora.</p>
<p>One more bit: why have you chosen HYP? Why not target any of the 100s of other colleges that will give you an excellent education? What is the difference between Yale and Oberlin or Macalester or Northwestern?</p>
<p>Please don’t be a lemming and be another name-chaser. They can be spotted from miles away.</p>
<p>“I also plan to volenteer [sic] at an elephant orphanage in kenya.”</p>
