<p>My son is very focused on Yale. Im not going to list all of his scores and achievements. But he wouldln’t be applying if he wasn’t qualified in terms of courses, scores and EC. We live in Westchester County in NY. Westchester is very well represented in all of the top schools in the country. However NO ONE from our town’s public HS has ever been accepted to Yale. </p>
<p>Is this a bad sign? Or can he try to use it to his advantage to further distinguish himself and talk to admissions about wanting to be able to represent his hometown at Yale.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
