<p>Your help is very much appreciated.</p>

<p>I know 2 kids from my school that got into Yale with 3.3 weighted and 1100 SAT because they were recruited for football. The athletic double standard really annoys me.</p>

<p>4.75 is great, the SAT is a little low for Yale, but you should have a decent chance.</p>

<p>Reach. You've got fantastic class rank. What's your essay about?</p>

<p>I'm sorry. I'm kinda new to this site but just what does "reach" mean? Well my friend's a junior right now, so she hasnt' applied yet.</p>

<p>Low chance. SATI is too low and the ECs read like a stereotypical Asian candidate. Yale gets a ton of those with better scores.</p>

<p>umm. i'm sorry but she isn't Asian. Actually, she's an international student from Canada (Quebec, as for the French thing..) so does that put her to an advantage?</p>

<p>Well it's probably better than being one of thousands of violin playing Asian applicants with an 800 on the Chinese SATII. But Yale is still a big reach.</p>

<p>haha. I see.
I am Asian by the way, and don't mind applying to some Ivy league schools either but what constitutes a non-stereotypically Asian EC? Does student council look good?</p>
