Chances at Yale

<p>Thanks in advance guys. Any insight would be highly appreciated</p>

<p>SAT: 2310 - 780M 800W 730R (one sitting)
SAT2: MathII800 Chemistry790
will take: Bio(expect an 800) USHistory (expect low-to-mid 700s, might skip this one)
ACT: 35 (35M 35W 35R 36S 10essay)</p>

<p>GPA: 4.2@end of this (junior) year (major upward trend; all As and A+s in all AP classes this year)
AP scores: will have Bio, Chemistry, CalcAB, USHistory and Lang after this year, expect a 5 in all of them</p>

<p>Senior Courseload: AP Physics, APCalcBC, APGov't, APLit, APStatistics, APEconomics, HChinese4</p>

<p>Awards: Finalist (top 5) in state chemistry competition last year; 4th place in 3 events at a state National Science Olympiad; AP Chemistry Scholar</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: EMT, will have 400-500 hours of service by application time -- Captain/President of National Science Olympiad team 3 years -- piano and dance on and off, no awards, may not include these -- National Honors Society -- ADAP YLC (very special drugs and alcohol group i've been a part of for 4 years); executive board member this year</p>

<p>Summers:
Freshman--Summer at Yale (a program called Explo)
Sophomore--200hrs of EMS service
Junior--intense apprenticeship/research internship with professor at yale</p>

<p>My two main recommendations will come from my APBiology and APCalcAB/BC teachers; both are incredible writers and are known to frequently write outstanding recommendations, and both like me a lot.
My third will come from my biology teacher from freshman year; we have become very close friends, and she has really acted as a mentor to me throughout high school. she knows me in a very different way from the other two and can add a very different flavor to my application. </p>

<p>The research position at Yale will start this quarter (Q4 Junior Year), continue into the summer--when I will most likely be working 7 days a week--and into senior year. this should be the biggest thing, especially if i make a great impression and the professor has connections. </p>

<p>Assume essays are stellar. </p>

<p>Very passionate science/math student.</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>The one thing everyone keeps saying about ivies is that you never know. You seem to have good stats, but then again, so does everyone else applying to Yale. You seem qualified, but again, you never know with Ivies…</p>
