<p>"My GPA is in the top 10 in the county. "</p>

<p>I do not know how you would know this, or how this is possible since weighted g.p.a’s vary from school to school.</p>

<p>You also left out some important information, copy the format out of a results thread so we can give you a decent chance.</p>

3

<p>I second DannyNobel, how’d you know your GPA rank in the country?</p>

4

<p>First, I said “in the county” not the country. My county allows us to print out our transcripts containing our rank in class (class of 2013) compared to everyone in the county. Also, what did you mean, Danny? I am new to this site.</p>

5

<p>Think you got a pretty good chance… tbh and lol @ Scythe. isn’t that like a Runescape blackmarket forum?..</p>

6

<p>I know you said “county”, that was a typo. Sorry.</p>

7

<p>Niceboat, it’s more of a market based forum not only on MMORPGs nowadays.</p>

8

<p>So what are you passionate about, exactly?</p>

9

<p>@not: community service. most of my leadership come from service clubs</p>

<p>My advice is do what you absolutely love and focus your energies on those things. It’s nice to be well rounded, but the bulk of your time and effort should go to the things that really make you happy–that’s what Yale will really see. Your activities are great so far–but unfortunately, standardized tests do play a big role so definitely prep up for your SAT/ACT and you’ve got great prospects!</p>

<p>Okay, now let me please be brutally honest. Why are you asking if you have a chance, when clearly, any person with your stats/ECs should know full well that based on your exceptional performance in high school, you most definitely stand a formidable chance of acceptance. Of course you have a chance, and deep down inside, you already knew that.</p>
