<p>It’s over. Wait for the results. Nothing anyone says here is gonna have an impact on how well you do.</p>
<p>But always expect the worst. :). My Stanford EA rejection didn’t seem so harsh that way.</p>
<p>Very low chances, sorry.</p>
<p>lol I don’t care that much, no need to be sorry. Now USC/UCLA, those I care about</p>
<p>I really wish I’d applied to USC. Oh well I’ll just transfer after my first quarter at Chicago</p>
<p>You really should, LA is great this time of year</p>
<p>Your stats are very low for yale. Honestly… it’s probably best that you don’t get in here. It would be a struggle.</p>
<p>Well honestly, I’m not dumb, I just don’t do homework and projects. SATs and ACTs are at 8 in the morning, I am half asleep at that time especially since I sleep at 1-2am. Stats may be bad for acceptance, but not for handling the courses. I also didn’t study for any of my exams like AP, SAT, and ACT (or in class tests for that matter).</p>
<p>then how will you handle the courses dude?</p>
<p>You’d probably be able to handle the work (although you might need to step it up). But admission is a big long shot. I hope you had a good list with more realistic options.</p>
<p>I really doubt it, but we’re all just waiting now. If you’ve already applied, getting chanced won’t change anything.</p>

<p>You can try to validate your stats all you want, but it just isn’t going to cut it for Yale. Everyone takes the SAT at 8 in the morning and is half asleep, but the people applying to Yale have scores like 2100 and higher. What makes you so special that taking the test at 8 am excuses your relatively low score?</p>
<p>If you don’t do work and projects, how are you going to handle the workload at Yale? It’s prestigious because the coursework is difficult. Your weighted GPA is most applicant’s UNweighted GPA. </p>
<p>You will have final exams and the like in college, so if you don’t study for those, what would make Yale think you will during college?</p>
<p>What you are hoping for falls nothing short of a miracle. Consider other good but not overly competitive schools.</p>
<p>Yeah… agreed. If you couldn’t work hard enough (i.e., not very hard) to get very good grades on relatively easy things like SATs and high school courses, you’re not going to be able to do well at yale. Sorry.</p>
