<p>did you take sat?</p>

3

<p>nope but from what i’ve found, my ACT score converts to around a 2150 SAT score… low for Yale, i know haha</p>

4

<p>I’m no expert, but I feel like you have as much of a good chance as any other solid applicant. Good scores/ap stuff. And the work and parents/siblings at yale is a plus.
good luck!</p>

5

<p>your ACT is on the low side of average for yale, but the legacy stuff will help a bit. what did you do at yale? science research?</p>

<p>I suspect that iHope92 is a ■■■■■.
In the UVA and Boston College forum he posted that he had worked at Harvard for a summer, but on this board he posted that he worked at Yale…</p>

<p>I think iHope92 is a ■■■■■ too. I was the first person to respond and I asked who he/she researched with at Harvard because I researched there two summers ago, so naturally I wanted to know if I knew her/him. He/she proceeded to delete my comment and then changed the post to say “worked at Yale for a summer,” instead of Harvard.</p>
