<li>sorry if everyone asks this- does yale superscore SATs? do the ivys in general?</li>
<li>if my school doesn’t offer extracurriculars (seriously…lol that’s how it is in israel) do I write “not available at school” where I’m supposed to list them or do I write that in the additional information? (or try to incorporate it into my essay…somehow…)</li>
</ol>
<p>Yes… Yale superscores SATs. </p>
<p>Your school doesn’t have to offer any extracurriculars, its any activity you do in or outside of school… your school seriously does not have ANY volunteering organizations, clubs, school positions? Did you do anything in your community? </p>
<p>If you seriously don’t have ANY EC’s, then your chances of getting in are extremely slim, even if you have perfect scores…</p>
<p>I know. of course I have extracurriculars and I volunteer and everything but they just have no connection to school i was talking about the ones that are actually offered or connected to the school-our school MAY have student council but I’m still no sure, it’s a top school this is just the norm here.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if they have any connection to the school. And if your school offers so few, explain it in the Additional Information section.</p>
<p>@Gryffon: How did you find out that Yale superscores, because I was under the impression that they don’t…but that they pick your highest individual scores from each test you’ve taken (if you took the SAT more than once)</p>

<p>From their site:</p>
<p>In evaluating SAT or ACT results, does Yale consider scores from previous test dates?
Readers of your application will see all of the test results that are in your file, and they will supply the admissions committee with the highest scores you attain on each section of the SAT I or on the composite score for the ACT. However, if you take a particular test more than once, the readers may note for the committee that results have been achieved from repeated testing, and committee members may ask at any time to see all testing data.</p>
