Chances at Yale?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm really into language and i take spanish and french in school (french at ap level) I've taught myself so far italian, german, and portuguese, and i've taken state tests that demonstrate proficiency in all three. (so that's basically 5 languages that I know pretty well, how much will that help?)
I'm hoping that this somewhat compensates for my class rank (11 of 297). </p>

<p>also a 2280 SAT (800 Writing, 770 CR, 710 Math) </p>

<p>SATIIs are 740 World Hist, 780 Lit., 740 Chem, 750 US.</p>

<p>also APs 5 on Euro US and English Language, 4 on chem. I'm taking 6 AP classes this year, took 5 last year. I did a summer conlaw program at Yale for a month. great recs. amazing essays.(you'll just have to trust me, i guess)</p>

<p>I founded my schools democrat club, I'm in varsity tennis, I intern at my local assemblywoman's office, I organized my school's darfur awareness week, I do quizbowl each year, tri-m, band and orchestra (bassoon and piano) i also work 17 hours a week. I'm on my school's Site Based Team, which is a policy making group, and a few teachers and I on the team have sucessfully pushed for change in how the school calcualtes class rank.
plus some other things like Honor Society and tutoring. </p>

<p>My interview went really well, and I've applied to Yale EA.</p>

<p>you seem fairly political and Yale does love that. race? school turn outs?</p>

3

<p>i'm white, male. no one else from my school is applying early to yale.</p>

4

<p>Your stats seem solid. I think you have a chance.</p>

5

<p>i forgot to add: i'm a national merit scholar semifinalist, soon to be finalist, i suspect.</p>

6

<p>............</p>

7

<p>you definitly have a shot...</p>

8

<p>bumppp......</p>

<p>Is there a reason you haven't mentioned your grades? Your transcript is, after all, the most important part of the application.</p>

10

<p>no, here are my grades:</p>

<p>sophomore year GPA: 100.6
junior year GPA: 104.5</p>

<p>i did 95+ in everything except AP Chem, which was like high 80s</p>

<p>You've definitely got a shot - it really depends on whether they're looking for someone with your particular talents or not. If they are, you're looking at a good chance for admission, I'd say.</p>

<p>Public or Private school? Honors classes? Math/Sci and Liberal Arts balance? Prospective major? What was your actual courseload?</p>

12

<p>this year i have 6 ap classes
Eco(Macro and Micro), Lit, French, Calc AB, Gov, Physics</p>

<p>last yeah i had five
French, Euro, US, Lang, Chem<br>
everything else has been honors</p>

<p>public school, prospective major was linguistics,</p>

<p>good chances, i think. nobody's a shoo-in, but you have decent grades and test scores, awesome language ability, time spent at yale already, and a lot of political involvement. go for it!</p>
