<p>2102? Do you mean 2120 (SAT score)?</p>

<p>You are competitive enough for just about any school in the country, including Yale. Whether you are admitted is an entirely different story.</p>

3

<p>Yeh, thx. </p>

<p>I understand Yale take people who do their best in certain areas. Mine would be athletics and science, but I really don’t know if they’re are the best areas against other applicants.</p>

<p>You don’t know the stats of everyone who will apply to Yale this fall. All you can do is continue to excel in your fields. :-)</p>

5

<p>782 in Math?</p>

<p>Yale is a crapshoot. It is very unpredictable at 7% admit rate.</p>

<p>People are usually recruited for athletics and not necessarily taken because of an EC. So you might want to contact the track coach.</p>

<p>=) Thx for the advice</p>

<p>taxaspg, this may sound skeptical, but I’m plan on working out during part of my summer in the gym in order to increase my vertical leap. I plan on using that vertical leap to break the high jump school record to 6’7 during track season in Spring. This is all risky speculation, but I plan on talking to the track coach after my season has ended, and I won state. Afterwards, I plan on talking to the track and field coach for Yale. I notice they don’t have any High Jumpers on their track team. LOL Once against ignorant and risky speculation, but a guy has to dream and try.</p>

<p>The coaches start filling their classes starting this summer. They give you a likely letter if they decide to take you. So if you wait until spring, the admit season is already over.</p>

9

<p>So I guess I should talk to him during the season.</p>
