Hi! I wanted to ask about my chances at Yale University. I am a high-school junior at a private college preparatory school; I have not yet taken the ACT but in practices I get 32-34. I have already taken AP French (4) and self-studied for AP European History (5) and I’m currently AP US History, English Honors, and self-studying for AP Italian. As a senior, I will take AP Statistics, AP English Literature, World History Honors/Art History Honors, and French Literature Honors. I currently have a 3.98 GPA (unweighted.)
As for school extracurriculars, I will likely be the Editor-in-Chief of my school’s world language literary magazine as a senior; I am currently the Head Italian Editor and Head Design Editor. Outside of school, I work at my local bookstore part-time and I am the assistant festival planner for an annual book festival in my hometown, which sees around 20,000+ guests per year.
I will have recommendations from a French teacher who has known me for three years (and under whom I have won 3 gold medals in the National French Contest), a school-provided college counselor, and a beloved English teacher. I am confident in my essay-writing abilities as well for the common app (I am a humanities kid through and through.)
I plan to study comparative literature. What are my chances for Yale SCEA, class of '26?
