Hello! I was thinking about applying to Yale (as a Canadian) this coming year for and I was wondering about my chances!
Right now I’m a junior in a high school for the arts. Here are my stats:
I don’t know how to calculate GPA unweighted/weighted, but my average is 95% in regular classes.
I am enrolled in an arts program that requires we take two art classes each year.
I love to paint and write, but I want to enter a program in sciences.
I have won awards for highest marks in a few classes, have honour roll each year, and have won a few other community awards.
I participate in science/math contests like Waterloo and OAPT.
I am involved in the art council at my school (3 years) and writing club (3 years).
I have a part-time job that I’ve been at for 1 year.
I am going to be spending a semester in grade 12 at the Ontario Science Centre Science School.
I haven’t taken any standardized tests yet (I’m preparing to take the SAT and 2 SAT subject tests in the summer).
I have >100 volunteer hours.
We don’t have class ranking so I don’t know about that.
I have heard many good things about Yale and even Princeton and I think I want to apply because I think it would be a good experience. What can I do to improve my chances? (if I even have any chance)
