@RustyTrowel I spoke with my guidance counselor about this issue and she told me that most of our students don’t have luck with Yale because my school hasn’t “proven” itself to Yale (what ever that means). She pretty much said that Yale doesn’t value my school enough so very few students are accepted, even though I go to a well respected public highschool.
Unfortunately I don’t have the money to pay for counselors to review my Application, but I had the best English teacher read and help me revise each of my essays, and they are all pretty good.
Thank you.
