<p>Hey u guys,</p>
<p>If a candidate had everything that yale wanted such as perfect SAT scores, awesome ECs, long volunteering at great places, a couple of internships, college credit, good essay & aps, minority status, and character ecxpect for the good grades. And by the exception of good grades, I mean like 2 Ds in math and a few Cs. Obvioulsy yale wouldn't accept such grades even if this candidate has great reasons about their issues at home and stuff so lets say this person went to Uconn for the first year and got their grades up, a lot, would yale accept this person? One more thing to note is that this person would apply as an incoming freshman not transfer as they would be 18 years old at the time.</p>
<p>Uconn is pretty well reputed right?</p>
<p>you can't apply as a transfer if you have a year of college (only if you have less than a year). they don't allow you to voluntarily "drop credit" in order to apply as a freshman, even if you are of the normal freshman age. You'd have to apply as a transfer. sorry :(</p>
<p>oh, ok. That makes sense, it's OK. Alright, so just for the information, would it be possible to go from Uconn to Yale as a transfer if u did really good in uconn?</p>
<p>Sure, you could, but UCONN isn't easy, thats for sure.</p>
<p>thing is, they take like 25 out of 800-900 applicants; the admissions rate fro transferring hovers around 2-4%. You need OUTSTANDING academics, ECs, refs, etc as well as a really good reason to want to go to Yale. just a thought, and i know i don't know the whole situation, but you should try to find/do something to make yourself stand out. All the pple that apply to places like yale have honours lists up the wahzoo, and I think Yale really looks for something special in the transfer candidates :)</p>
