<p>What are the GPA/SAT scores for black students that get accepted to schools like Yale, Columbia, and U Penn. </p>

<p>Would an applicant with a 3.42 GPA /1920 SAT, strong essays, few extracurriculars, work/internship/entrepreneurial experience, bilingual (fluent English/ proficient Spanish) have a fair chance of getting in? </p>

<p>BTW I'm expecting to break 2000 when I retake the SAT this December.</p>

<p>I’ve seen it happen before, it depends on how strong your ECs are + your character.</p>

<p>Hard to say without knowing what your school is like; GPA sticks out here as the weakest part of your app assuming your soft factors (essays, recommendations, ec’s) are solid. On the flip, you have a challenging course load, so that helps! A higher SAT score would help as well, though people of all backgrounds have been admitted with the score you have now. Where you are applying from could also have a strong influence on the outcome.</p>

<p>All in all, based on the limited info you laid out here, you have a shot. Good luck during the application process!</p>
