<p>Do you really have an advantage being a black male candidate who's parents went to college. Assuming you have good grades, and a 2000-2400 SAT score? </p>

<p>Does sports helps you in the application process when this school is academically based?</p>

<p>How does any school with others applying from the same school look at each applicant? </p>

<p>Does Yale look a every year of grades, i know Princeton doesn't look at freshman grades?</p>

<p>Can a stellar essay and test score make up for other, missing factors? </p>

<p>I was looking at numbers and Yale is the ivy that is applied to second to less then any other ivy. I wonder why?</p>

<p>I'm a junior, Black, Track Runner, Singer, Actor and I Dance.
Specifically the 400 and i looked at the current runners for that event and i was faster then some the freshmen/Sophomores when i was a sophomore. </p>

<p>Does Yale only want you super involved in one activity or can you be involved in multiple.</p>

<p>Whats gives me a hook i don't know of any other thing that makes me super special
other then the listed things. I'm related to Magic Johnson and Tina Turner. </p>

<p>Does the interview if you receive one could it help you tremendously?</p>

<p>If you know people and have connection to major players does that help?</p>

<p>Why does being a first generation college student give you such a big advantage?</p>

<p>I live in Arizona is that an advantage</p>

<p>So many questions!</p>

<ol>
<li>Yes, but probably less so if your parents are both college grads and you are relatively well off.</li>
<li>yes, if you’re recruited</li>
<li>Confused. If you’re talking about if others from your HS are applying to the same college, I’m not sure.</li>
<li>yes</li>
<li>Depends of what’s missing. A great test score is very well and good, but your activities outside the class are as, if not more important. However, a stellar essay has the potential to overlook a lack in one specific area.</li>
<li>Because no one wants a rejection letter</li>
<li>Either way. Just show your passion. Me personally, I’m well balanced. Others here are extremely well lopsided</li>
<li>race, legacy, recruited athlete, 1st gen college, underrepresented state or country (minor), national winner (Siemens or some other major contest)</li>
<li>Not really. The saying goes that a bad interview hurts you more than a good interview helps. Do it anyway, it’s a great way to really learn about the school.</li>
<li>oui, sort of. If you’re directly related to say, Eli Whitney or something, sure! Or if you know an alumni very well, that can help as well.</li>
<li>$. Don’t quote me, but I believe that having first year college students is good for business, and adds to the overall marketability of the school.</li>
</ol>

<p>The search function on this site is a wonderful tool.</p>

<p>But, since I feel like being nice:</p>

<p>Do you really have an advantage being a black male candidate who’s parents went to college. Assuming you have good grades, and a 2000-2400 SAT score?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>Does sports helps you in the application process when this school is academically based?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>How does any school with others applying from the same school look at each applicant?</p>

<p>Within the context of their school offerings.</p>

<p>Does Yale look a every year of grades, i know Princeton doesn’t look at freshman grades?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>Can a stellar essay and test score make up for other, missing factors?</p>

<p>No, nothing can, but they can help.</p>

<p>I was looking at numbers and Yale is the ivy that is applied to second to less then any other ivy. I wonder why?</p>

<p>Not sure. Wasn’t aware of this.</p>

<p>I’m a junior, Black, Track Runner, Singer, Actor and I Dance.
Specifically the 400 and i looked at the current runners for that event and i was faster then some the freshmen/Sophomores when i was a sophomore.</p>

<p>Is this a question?</p>

<p>Does Yale only want you super involved in one activity or can you be involved in multiple.</p>

<p>Do what you want to do, not what Yale wants you to do. Follow this advice, and Yale will like you.</p>

<p>Whats gives me a hook i don’t know of any other thing that makes me super special
other then the listed things. I’m related to Magic Johnson and Tina Turner.</p>

<p>LOL. If you can incorporate that into an essay, that would be cool, but that’s not a hook. Hooks are institutional requirements that the college needs to fill, so your URM status is a good enough hook.</p>

<p>Does the interview if you receive one could it help you tremendously?</p>

<p>Probably not “tremendously,” unless you bring a your previously unmentioned Nobel Prize in Physics.</p>

<p>If you know people and have connection to major players does that help?</p>

<p>Players? And I guess they would, if you know how to use them.</p>

<p>Why does being a first generation college student give you such a big advantage?</p>

<p>It gives you an advantage.</p>

<p>I live in Arizona is that an advantage </p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
