<p>LOL!!! Even if that was so, I would only exhibit that sort of attitude to a "competitive" Yale applicant, which the OP clearly is not. She asked for some honest feedback and I gave her some. There are plenty of fine colleges nationwide that will not only accept her, but will most likely offer her some generous merit aid offers. </p>
<p>Yale is THE most selective college in the country so I see no reason to sugarcoat my responses on chance threads. The fact is, 90% of the people on this board including myself will most likely get rejected outright when December 15th rolls around. The OP has nothing to be ashamed of.</p>
