Do I have any chance at Yale?

<p>sr6622, you are believeing too many adcomm PR talks. They kill for 1600s who are not social inverts.</p>

<p>Well....he/she doesn't have a 1600 or 2400 for that matter....</p>

<p>Well....he/she doesn't have a 1600 or 2400 for that matter....</p>

<p>TRUE!</p>

<p>I suspect that they also look at essays much more than they admit. When they say it doesn't count for much, it;s becaise 90% of them are so awful. I good essay, with high stats, is better than a list of ECs,</p>

<p>Score!</p>

<p>Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I suspect that they also look at essays much more than they admit. When they say it doesn't count for much, it's probably because 90% of them are so awful. A good essay, with high stats, is better than a list of ECs,and may explain why so many high scorers get dumped.</p>

<p>Dude...forget that...check out my design</p>

<p>Sweet++++++++++++++++!</p>

<p>You have a 1000% chance of going in.
You are a star.
You are THE ideal Yale Student!
Good luck!</p>

<p>HAHAHA thanks for the optimism vivo</p>

<p>By the way, a lot of people mentioned I have really weak ECs. Do you think it helps if I am</p>

<p>Nat'l Honor Society Treasurer
and
Senior Class Treasurer</p>

<p>forgot about that lol...</p>

<p>ehh. senior class treasurer is good. but from what i've heard nhs doesn't mean much. which sucks for me because i'm nhs president</p>

<p>Go read last year's board. Draw your own conclusion. Email those 1600s and vals that didn't get in and see what their chances are.</p>

<p>Your ECs are going to be very important. Everyone who applies there has 2250+ so you are going to need something that stands out. A 2370 stands out us, but it doesnt to adcoms that see it every day.</p>
