<p>Sorry, I don’t think you really have a chance.
(don’t bash me for my opinion–you asked for it)</p>

<p>Well he’s African American, has average test scores, and he has a lot of extracurricular activities. I’d say maybe?</p>

<p>haha its fine ephemeral
but i would like to note that i actually received two calls from yale requesting that apply there…
and they told me in would be in my best interest to take the sat again
also i am a coca cola scholar semifinalist and a ron brown applicant</p>

<p>hmmm…</p>

<p>I don’t think your SAT scores will necessarily keep you out since you’re AA, but there’s a strong possibility that your gpa will. Congrats on being a Coca cola scholar semi, btw.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>If Yale called you, I’m going to guess they wanted you for volleyball. I don’t know how reliable this is, but according to [this</a> site](<a href=“http://home.comcast.net/~charles517/ivyai.html]this”>http://home.comcast.net/~charles517/ivyai.html), there are certain academic standards for athletes in the Ivy League… there’s no hard-and-fast rule like you need X SAT score, but they’ll only take a certain number of athletes under some point and a certain number under another point. That’s why they wanted you to retake the SAT. A really good athlete is worth one of those few spots for people with poor SAT scores (although yours are pretty good, just not for Yale); a less good athlete needs higher scores to get in. So your chances of being admitted probably depend on how good you are at volleyball and how much your SAT improves.</p>

<p>i got a 2010 640 C 700 M 670 W
should i even send?</p>

8

<p>I think this is a huge stretch, even for a URM. It may be remotely possible for a recruited athlete.</p>

<p>if you can afford the 70-odd bucks, give it a shot! you never know.
but considering how much weightage sports have on your app, you might want to consider a school with more solid sports teams. i heard hyp dont have great ones.
not too sure about that, but you might want to check.
good luck!</p>
