Chances for Yale?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Pretty much, I've been wanting to go to Yale my whole life. There's baby pictures of me in a Yale crewneck, and I still own one today. I'd appreciate if some people could give me honest replies about my chances of getting. </p>

<p>I'm a high school junior doing a year abroad in Germany on a CBYX scholarship. Because of this, and my American school's restrictions on AP classes, I will only have 3 AP credits when I graduate. </p>

<p>I've been in a Japanese immersion program since I was 5, and can speak Japanese fluently. Hopefully by the end of the year, I'll have a good command of German. I'm also learning Italian at school here.</p>

<p>As far as extracurriculars, I'm an Eagle Scout and was senior patrol leader for my troop for a year and a half. I was co-president of the model UN club, a member of mock trial, and on my school's dragonboat racing team. </p>

<p>I'm tied for first in my class with unweighted GPA with a 4.0. I didn't do so hot on the PSAT - the ACT is my thing. I'm taking it in a week, but on all my practice tests, I've gotten a 33. </p>

<p>My aunt attended Yale. Does that help with legacy or anything? </p>

<p>Though my dream is to go to Yale, I'm also interested in Colgate, Pomona, Stanford, and Dartmouth. If anyone has any insight on my chances at these schools, I'd appreciate it if they could give it! Thanks!</p>

<p>Hi everyone! I know I’m late to the game, but I’m sooo happy I found all you guys! I read most of the entire thread and I can see you guys are just as scared but excited as me! But I’m really nervous about my chances. You see, I only have a 2.7 GPA. However, I had a very promising interview and I’m very involved in my school’s reading club. I hope that’s enough to make up for the subpar grades! I struggled in my transition to high school and I’ve found it very difficult to recover. I find great comfort in reading about your thoughts and feelings. Best of luck to all of you!!!</p>

<p>No, not really.
Looking at a simple SAT/GPA chart shows that of the remaining 90%, a large percentage of applicants aren’t even “competitive”.</p>
