Applying to College

<p>hey guys, this is kind of just a random question, but i've actually been thinking about it quite a lot lately.</p>

<p>what should i do:</p>

<p>1) I'm absolutely in love with yale. Seriously, when I visited, I was like a little kid at a candy store. Plus, I want to go into law, so yea, best grad school for that in the world right there. I'm defenitly applying ED but it's a 50/50 thing about getting in. If this happens, I'm actually thinking about taking a gap year and doing some international volunteer work or get an internship and re-apply the following year</p>

<p>2) If I don't get into yale, I was thinking of transferring out of my next choices (baylor or notre dame) after one year. </p>

<p>Which should i do? I've been told that I would significantly increase my acceptance chances if I take a year off and get a law internship and I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of transfer applications and such. But is this a wise decision?</p>

<p>What should I do? Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>first, apply and see. Get into Baylor or Notredam first and them see...</p>

<p>Yea, dont start worrying about that too soon. Send in your apps and see if you get in. Getting into a top 20 university is difficult.</p>

<p>I'd say you should apply and see what happens. If not accepted, take a gap year with a law internship or something of the sort. I'd say you have a good shot either way. If you're 50/50 you say for Yale. It's tough though. You never know with those Ivy's. It's just luck sometimes. Best of luck to you =]. Conclusion: 1) Apply and see 2) Take a gap year if not accepted? My opinion =].</p>
