<p>Thanks to any replies :)</p>
<p>You have a decent chance at admissions. Your 470 would probably not affect your chances that much, but just in case, try to retake it for at least a 600+ in an attempt to reconcile any doubts. Your coaching both in basketball and speech demonstrates initiative and leadership which will work very favorably in your admissions. A VERY good essay topic if you ask me.</p>
<p>You seem like an extremely strong applicant. Most schools only require you to send 2 SATII tests so maybe you can leave out the 470 (or just retake it). Besides that, all you have to worry about is conveying your passion and uniqueness in the application. That would be the only thing to set you apart from all of the other perfect scoring applicants applying to Yale haha. I’m sure you’ll find a punch and sell it to them. Luck!</p>
<p>Why did you take the test if you were clearly not ready for it, or did something happen during the test (eg. you got sick)? Anyway, I don’t think that would affect your app because I don’t think you have to send it… You have decent chances but as with all Ivies, admissions are pretty random.</p>
<p>BOI, IF YOU BE SENDIN DAT 470 IMUNA SLAP CHU! </p>
<p>Okay, sorry, it’s late and I’m bored, I couldn’t resist. But you have a great chance ANYWHERE, however, don’t send that 470 haha, it won’t help you at all. But your application is looking VERY strong, your SAT score is right where it needs to be. You are Asian though, and while an upward trend is nice, most Asians will have absolutely impeccable grades, the competition will be quite fierce. Your ECs are outstanding though, you have a great chance anywhere(:</p>
<p>I’d love to not send that French score but doesn’t Yale require all SAT scores for review? In which case I’m out of luck…</p>
<p>If you want to be taken seriously on CC, drop your name and start over with a new name.</p>
<p>What a completely unnecessary comment lol</p>
<p>Any other chances would be appreciated 
thanks</p>
<p>I wouldn’t call debate a “hook” but rather a passion. From what I see, a lot of asians have awards in debate. I guess the “470” was to grab attention, but I think that most schools only ask for 2 subject tests. Though the ECs are okay, I can’t say they’re Yale good which is why I think it would be a reach for you. But who knows?</p>
<p>haha no, not sarcastic! kind of jealous of your debating skills though 
How did you qualify for all these debate competitions? Is it just with your high school team, or can you register elsewhere?</p>
<p>sadly the 470 wasn’t an outright attempt to grab attention,

<p>I was looking for opinions on how much that score would affect my chances as I have to send all standardized testing results to Yale.</p>
<p>@bluenotebook2
my high school is registered with a provincial (state-wide) “debate board” that organizes tournaments</p>
<p>I was able to attend the national/international tournaments by advancing through qualifying tournaments hosted by the provincial debate board</p>
<p>That is insanely cool.
Congratulations and GOOD LUCK! Though I’m pretty sure you won’t need it!</p>
<p>you don’t have to send all of your scores for the subject test.</p>
<p>if yale requires two, you send ONLY two subject tests, but you have to send ALL sittings for those tests. so you don’t have to send french.</p>
<p>i agree with texaspg.</p>
<p>With score choice, you can send whatever scores you want and the colleges will have no way of verifying if those are all the scores.</p>
<p>you have to check the school’s policy</p>
<p>From Yale’s webstite
“Please note: Yale does not participate in Score Choice. Therefore, you need to send Yale the results of all SAT and SAT Subject Tests or all ACT tests that you have taken.”</p>
<p>am I misinterpreting this statement, I don’t think I am…
Its pretty clear that I have to send my French score, or do people still doubt me?</p>
<p>You may be “required” to, but I believe you choose which scores to send. And Yale has no way of verifying that you sent all scores.</p>
