<p>Well, being an international means that you are being held at a higher standard (especially score-wise). So, I think you should try to raise your SATs.</p>

<p>You have a high predicted grade for IB, so good job on that. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I’m really digging the title. ;)</p>

<p>Hello, fellow IB-er :)</p>

<p>geniustai is right, it’s generally harder for internationals to get in. Your EC’s are great though. Wishing you the best of luck!</p>

<p>I think it kinda depends on which geographical location you are from & how many other applicants are better than you from your country in that applicant cycle. If you are from China, India, Korea, etc. your SAT scores are quite low to compete with the stats of those Uh-ma-zing applicants. However, if you are from an underrepresented country, you MIGHT have a chance. But really, no one knows the real formula when it comes to Yale and admissions. Are you a SCEA applicant?</p>

<p>P.s. most of this is conjecture; it might not be the way Yale(or any school) does admissions when it comes to internationals :)</p>

<p>Apologies for the ignorance, but by “international” do you mean you’re a US citizen living abroad and attending an international school, or are you not a US citizen?</p>

<p>I attend an international school and I’m a US citizen, so I’m just curious as to whether I’m directly competing with ‘true’ internationals as well.</p>

<p>International = Person who has citizenship status from another country - not the US. </p>

<p>I don’t know how you will be evaluated though.</p>

<p>However, I have a friend like you at school who applied last year. She is a U.S. national who lived here for 14 years. She said she was evaluated against other U.S. nationals. But I don’t know how she is quite sure of that…</p>

<p>I see, thanks for the clarification.</p>
