<p>lol um.....</p>

<p>gpa? ECs? awards?
ur test scores are too low, imo</p>

<p>Um...you're not a troll are you?
If you're not...It's not likely.</p>

4

<p>no harm in trying i guess...</p>

<p>definitely a high reach w these stats and lowish EC awards : /
but Yale is a crapshoot.</p>

<p>your EC's are okay. but that's it.
If you really do get a 32 on your ACT that would strenghten your app a bit.
after that it all comes down to your GPA.</p>

<p>I would say good grades and EC's (variety always a good thing), but if you raise your ACT and get a higher score on your SAT IIs, you will be a better candidate. Yale is random, but URM status helps =) (I am Ghanaian). Check out "Just for Kicks" thread and chance me.</p>

<p>I think that if you boost up your SAT and a few of the SAT II's that you're more confident in, you'll have a better shot. I'm first-generation Ethiopian!</p>
