<p>HI :smiley: ok so your extracurricular activities are quite strong, make sure to emphasize your lucrative charity drives and your editorial positions at school publications.
What are you thinking of studying at Yale? Economics?
Hmm I’d retake the SAT if I were you…it’s extremely low for Yale. Raise it to a 2200+, preferably 2300+</p>

<p>I want to study Ethics, Politics and Economics.
The problem is that I can not retake my SAT as the next test date is in October and my A Level exams start then so I have to study for me. Could you please tell me about my chances with this score?</p>

<p>Remember that Yale views applications holistically, so SAT scores aren’t everything. Grades gpa rigor of curriculum and ranking are more important than SATs.
Also, If you can write a beautifully poignant and insightful essay that shows that you are someone who is greater than themselves, has a broad worldwide perspective, and can truly benefit the Yale campus, you have a shot!
Your extracurricular list is quite impressive, actually. It definitely looks like you have one strong passion in economics/politics/international relations stuff. Please emphasize this :smiley: it’s nice when extracurriculars aren’t scattered all over the place.</p>
