Rank: 1 out of 86</p>
<p>Subjective:
Essays: pretty strong, very "me", but maybe not very Yale
Teacher Recs: never read them, but based on comments we get each quarter this should be very, very strong recs (like top in my career type recs from teachers who Yale would know don't say that for very many students)
Counselor Rec: no clue

State or Country: CA
School Type: competitive private
Ethnicity: White

<p>major strengths/weaknesses: my strength is everything academic... grades, scores, recs, even academic ECs (like debate, research, etc.), my weakness was that I only did ECs that really interested me and didn't have <em>that</em> many ECs nor did I have big awards... also I'm not sure how good of a fit I am for Yale, maybe they really do consider that and thought I'd be better off at a different school?
why I was waitlisted: a lot of girls from my school in the top 10% applied probably and they got in instead... I think it was mostly just bad luck</p>

I just effing don't know. I expected a rejection...[/li][/ul]Other Factors:** Like I said, probably luck, and maybe the legacy helped too, ie, they had it down to two people from my school and chose me because of legacy... I have no idea. I am still in shock. I don't even know what to think.</p>

why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered:I had to turn down an interview with one guy because my schedule and his couldn't work together at all, he promised to get another Yale alum to contact me but didn't...so anyhow no interview. And historically, nobody from my community ever gets into Yale unless they are an excellent athlete (that has been the case for the last 5 years according to my dad's friend, a Yale alum.)</p>
