Mr. Moore: one of the joys I receive from recruiting at my alma mater district (Detroit) is meeting many young people who have overcome difficulty and are striving for more. Very very occasionally, I’m steered towards a handful of students who might be considered viable applicants for Yale and I’m happy to guide and serve them. However, I engage many many others whose academic achievements make them non-viable candidates for Yale (and like schools). I sincerely think you’re in the latter group.
But let me tell you strongly that the school you’ll eventually attend is not nearly as important as the trajectory you’re currently on. One of my best friends came from a very, very rough background and due to an injury, had an athletic scholarship to a prestigious school, withdrawn from him. He ended up attending a lowly-regarded state school. He made the most of it. He became his frat’s president. He became the student body president. He majored in CS and attained a fantastic job in the IT field. Now married, he and his family live near Penn State (his wife is a PhD student there). Not bad for a kid from the depths of Detroit.
