<p>Chances for Yale are less than 50% but decent.</p>

3

<p>Your "friend" will not get in. His SAT's scores are not good enough.</p>

4

<p>his friend has a chance and his SATs are definitely good enough. nothing really sticks out though.</p>

5

<p>yes i do. good luck to him</p>

6

<p>wait what? im confused.</p>

7

<p>maybe. yale is always a crapshoot.</p>

8

<p>he won't get in. you need perfect grades and perfect SATs. for instance, I have a 2380 SAT but am only an A- student (albeit at a super tough school), and i have no chance at yale</p>

<p>^
completely untrue. A perfect GPA and perfect standardized test scores does not mean auto-acceptance from Yale, or from any top-tier colleges for that matter. And a "not-perfect" GPA and "not-perfect" standardized test scores does not mean you're out of the running. Far from it, as most students applying (and accepted) are not perfect in those areas.</p>

<p>Captainkeeves, it actually is my friend. I have no interest in yale (I want to go to cornell).</p>
