<p>double legacy at yale (if sibling counts?)
applying early action at yale</p>

<p>thoughts please!</p>

2

<p>oh.. and various departamental awards, nm commended, s.o. medals, musics awards (nothing national or anything)</p>

3

<p>oh.. keep forgetting things.. i have gotten all As except one B</p>

4

<p>yale = reject.</p>

5

<p>i definitely think you have a shot, or at least as much as everybody else does, especially because you are a legacy...however, what is your class rank?</p>

6

<p>wats ur gpa?</p>

7

<p>your ECs lack, so expect a reject</p>

8

<p>You guys are just jealous. There's nothing wrong about this guy at all, and s/he's got legacy! His or her ECs are not bad, s/he just didn't try to talk them up ridiculously like everyone else here :p You've got a shot for sure.</p>

<p>....and so does everyone else. I guess Brown is your best bet.</p>

10

<p>hmm.. this is somewhat sobering
gpa = 3.998 (uw- school doesnt weight)
school doesn't rank either, but it would be top 10ish out of 500</p>

<p>any other thoughts?</p>

11

<p>please, anyone?</p>

12

<p>just go for it, if you don't get in, so what, it's $65 down the drain. i think you're qualified but yale does reject a whole lot of people. legacy may help too.</p>

13

<p>Define "program at UMich/Cornell" Are you a TASPer too?</p>

14

<p>What's a TASPer?</p>

15

<p>no, i didnt do TASP
i was in a society of women engineers program, for two weeks (its one week now, but i did it two years ago)
at cornell, I was at summer college, a 6 wk program w/ two college credit courses</p>

16

<p>bump...
help me out please!</p>

17

<p>Are your Legacies both siblings, or is one a parent? Because sibling legacies don't really help very much.</p>

18

<p>If one of your parents went, you have a fair shot and more if they are a generous alum. Your scores are just average for Yale, GPA is good if your school is very competitive and hopefully you're from a state that's underrepresented.</p>

19

<p>one parent, one sibling, plus several aunts/uncles (but that doesn't do too much)</p>

20

<p>hmm.. parent donates, but nothing significant
my school is relatively competitve (around 32 national merit out of 600, i think)
im from michigan</p>
