I just won a major national award...can I get into Yale now?

<p>Are you really sure about the Literary Teen Ink Council being prestigious?Anyway,Are the writing workshops there good? Have you been to MITY in the summer? </p>

<p>You should have a pretty good shoot at the non-ivies, because I know someone that was an URM and didn't get into Yale and got waitlisted at Princeton with pretty good stats/ECs. :)</p>

<p>well, i have no idea what that award is, but it will help you in your admit chances, schools like bragging that we have, x many winners of some national contest, if you help the university with its bragging rights, they will want you more, also your ECs and test scores and your gpa are good enough so you definitely have as good a chance as almost anybody in the the field</p>

<p>chance me back at

<p>www.DavidsonGifted.org</a> ~ Supporting Our Nation's Profoundly Gifted Young People <--- that's the award</p>

<p>I think you have excellent chances. Being named a davidson fellow is 0_0 in my eyes. Just look at who was named in years prior: Viscardi and this year, Streich.</p>
