<p>I have a perfect 36 ACT, have 3 800's on SAT2's, 4.3 weighted GPA out of 4.0 in a very competitive suburban high school....I really want to go to Yale...what else do I need?</p>
<p>Congrats on your academic achievement. There are more to need. Pls refer the following URL, esp for the comments from Jeff Brenzel of Yale University.

<p>Hrm. I would say you are sorely lacking in EC’s (unless you just didnt write them on this post)</p>
<p>Yale wants “people”… well rounded ones at that. If you have no EC’s (ones that pertain to your interests and passions… Yale likes individuality, dont try and fit into some preconceived mold) then Yale will see you as a mark whore and not take a second look.</p>
<p>That being said, congrats on being a freaking genius!</p>
