<p>I think many, many highly qualified applications for Yale feel this way. I know that I do! I haven’t quite gotten to the point of losing sleep, but there are days where I feel confident that I have a good shot at getting into Yale, but there are other days that I feel like I’ll not stand a chance. Reading the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/princeton-university/930052-meet-your-princeton-14-classmates-news-stories.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/princeton-university/930052-meet-your-princeton-14-classmates-news-stories.html</a> thread certainly didn’t help me. Haha. I think CC can sometimes add to the stress because there are so many amazing, very intelligent people on here. =)
@ pkm2232: My mom says the same thing! Put it in God’s hands. I’m going to put in the best possible application I can pull together, but in the end I think you’ve got to trust and know that you’ll end up at the right school for you. </p>
<p>Don’t lose sleep over it wrightm! I deal with stress/fear mainly by going to God, but taking a walk or doing something I enjoy takes the pressure off.</p>
<p>And I don’t think everyone who goes to Yale is absolutely, brilliantly amazing. The middle 50% of people who go to Yale have an ACT score of 30-34, according to the college board, [College</a> Search - Yale University - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)
It helps me to remember this when I get stressed about test scores.</p>
