Hi I’m currently a high school junior and I’d really love to attend either Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton, or MIT. Chance me?
I also have legacy to Yale.
Out of the four, I like Yale the most, so I’m thinking about making it my single-choice early action.

Pacific Islander male
GPA UW: 3.830
GPA W: 4.478
(both are cumulative academic, after junior year)
Class rank: idk, i guess ~top 5-10%? school doesn’t report class rank
SAT: 2240 (720 Reading, 750 Math, 770 Writing), might retake in October, depending on how I do on the ACT
Subject Tests:
Biology M (750)
Chemistry (770)
Math Level II (800)
Physics (taking it on June 6, predicted ~780, based on practice tests)
ACT: currently studying for it, slated to take it in June (predicted ~33, but working on changing that!)
