<p>Hi everyone!!!</p>
<p>I just have a little question concerning my GPA. At the end of this year, my junior, I will have a 3.7 uw GPA, I know it is kind of low for Yale, but I was wondering if the fact that I take really hard classes, will graduate with about 10 or 11 AP's, will make up for it? Also I will be in the top 5%. So what do you guys things? Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>it won't kill your chances if your ecs and essays and recs are stellar.</p>
<p>contrary to popular belief, you don't have to perfect to get into Yale. That said, haosquared is right and you need a great complete application, which means good ecs etc, to get in. But it's not just you, even people with 4.0 averages do too. Good luck next year.</p>
<p>Don't worry about your GPA, Yale cannot let you down just because your GPA.
Do well on your SATs and APs, those are the things can make you stand out.</p>
<p>There's a guy here who had a 3.6 and got a likely letter!!</p>
<p>So, no worries. :-)</p>
<p>what makes a good EC?</p>
<p>something you care about enough to dedicate yourself to.</p>
<p>I love your enthusiasm for Yale , understandable. I'm similarly psyched. Like literally a close friend of mine got in early, and when he called and told me i dropped the phone screaming and ran around our home a number of times. it was crazy. I cant even imagine getting in myself.</p>
