<p>Hi everyone, im a sophmore.
I just had some questions about how to get into yale
Is it overall </p>
<p>Academics
awesome sats and acts
and community service and all that.</p>
<p>Im first generation.</p>
<p>I dont know, people who get into yale are like an idol to me.
So yeah, any tips please
thank you
=D</p>
<p>okay! you guys may not want to reply to this thread but im stressing.
I'd really like some advice from someone who knows much about how to get into yale or someone who got accepted into yale.</p>
<p>First of all, it's late at night/early morning and it's only been 15 mins since you've posted.</p>
<p>Also, top schools like Yale use a holistic approach to select students. As it's an Ivy League and one of the best, you'd need amazing test scores, amazing grades, really really hard courseload taken, lots of extracurriculars, and maybe more.</p>
<p>You still have two years. Don't stress out crazily right now.</p>
<p>yes, i know what you mean. thank you.
I'm stressing right now because if i dont i probably wont get in.
Whats the lowest gpa/test scores a person has had and has gotten into yale that anyone knows of?</p>
<p>I know, a student who goes to stanford and he had a 3.7
i think his sats were 1800.</p>
<p>If you're stressing now.... you'll definitely stress when you are at 10/31... :)</p>
<p>Don't worry about it... stay the course, check out the school and see if that is what you really want, and do something that you really care about. Try to not fit into the generic mold.</p>
<p>There is no single formula to get into Yale. Your GPA, scores, and ECs are all important but they don't get more than a few glances. I'll bet its your essays that count more than anything else. Take advantage of your surroundings and opportunities, don't just do the same old boring clubs, positions, and awards every kid in the nation goes for... be unique (but not weird)</p>
<p>thanks, i know stress stinks huh!</p>
<p>That's what im thinking as well
i dont want to do the same thing everyone does
i'll be applying in 2010 i think, and when i apply i want to stand out.</p>
<p>My essay, i hope it gets me in.
Yale is somewhere i really want to go.
ever since i was like in the 5th grade.
But, my chances are slim.
Which hurt my confidence lol.</p>

<p>Thanks again.</p>
