<p>Yale has always been my dream school and I will be applying EA.
So here are my stats</p>

<p>GPA: UW 3.84 W 4.01</p>

<p>Class rank top 10 percent. there are 900 kids in my grade</p>

<p>Sat: 2320 (might retake it to see if i could improve my score)
Sat subject tests: chemistry 800 math 2 800 french 780 biology 780</p>

<p>Sports: I rowed crew for 2 years on varsity. I rowed in the varsity light weight four, and i also coxed in the heavyweight 8. I play soccer, and have been for 9 years. I also play squash.</p>

<p>Clubs: Ski/Snowboard, debate club for 2 years</p>

<p>Instruments: Both piano and guitar</p>

<p>Jobs: I have worked as a hostess and a cashier</p>

<p>Volunteer work: I volunteer at the hospital where my father works/ i have tutored numerous kids in french and chemistry</p>

<p>Summer activity: I travel to Greece every summer and i have also been to Germany Italy and France. I have dual citizenship here and in Greece. </p>

<p>My GPA is not too good, One of my family members got really sick and passed away and this was during my 9th and tenth grade years, and i was very sad and depressed so it really affected me, but im not sure if i should tell the admission officers that or if i should include that in my application. However, this year I was able to get back on my feet and I have been getting high 90s in all my classes.</p>

<p>Ive been mainly in honors. my senior year im taking 6 APs</p>

<p>Also my father was an assistant professor and doctor at the Yale Medical school, im not sure if that helps or not.</p>

<p>Leadership: I guess coxing??</p>

<p>So what are my chances? good not so good?</p>

<p>Oh and both my mother and father were born in Greece. Not sure if that does anything either</p>

<p>Hey Aristotle,
You might wanna consider more AP and you will be qualified but not necessarily excepted!
hope this helps</p>

<p>Everyone here is so cynical. Take hard classes. Do ECs. Honestly have a passion. Try and find out. None of these people are the admission officer and many people have been accepted with lower scores. Why are you asking a forum of people who don’t know you, spend their free time on a forum looking at acceptance stats, many of whom who like putting down people (me included). APPLY. It’s a crapshoot for EVERYONE but all you have to loose is time and money. Just try, don’t let us tell you what to do.</p>
