URGENT!!!!!!!!!

[juggu96]

I am an international applicant to Yale. I have completed my A levels from Pakistan. I have 2 questions.

1. I have submitted my sat 1 scores to Yale. I have taken the sat 2 as well I have not sent the sat 2 scores because according to the website

http://admissions.yale.edu/applying-yale-international-student

Students enrolled in A-level programs may use two completed A-level results as a substitute for the two SAT Subject Tests, provided official test results arrive at Yale by February. You must still take either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT Plus Writing. Predicted A-level results may not be used in place of the SAT Subject Tests.
Do I still have to send sat subject test scores. I got 790 on math2 and 730 on chem.

1. How do I know whether or not my Yale application is complete. If something is missing will they send an email?

If your application was incomplete you would have received an email around the 3rd week of January, alerting you to what elements were missing. If you didn’t get an email, then it’s a good assumption your application is complete.

@juggu96‌ Even well qualified applicants have a 90% or better chance of not being accepted.

I am an international applicant to Yale. DO I STAND ANY CHANCE

Yale is a long shot for everyone, especially international students. Yale currently enrolls about 1300 freshman and only 10% are internationals, so do the math: 1170 US Students + 130 International students = not great odds for any international student. To be admitted, you have to be one of the best students from your country. From your SAT scores and GPA, I’m guessing that other applicants from your country would have better credentials, but that’s just a guess. No one but the Admissions Office gets to read the entire files of all applicants, so who knows.

FWIW: you should read this blog from an MIT Admissions officer about asking “Do I have a chance” on CC::http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/939227-reminder-no-one-not-even-me-can-give-you-an-accurate-chance-at-mit-p1.html

No one on this forum, not even me, can give you a meaningful chance at MIT.

Why?

• Because the factors of admissions that can be readily apprehended in a forum post (GPA, SAT scores, etc) are in many ways the least important in our process.
• Because listing the school you go to or ECAs you are involved in does not communicate the degree to which you are a vibrant member of the community, does not communicate what your coaches or teachers or mentors will say about you, and those are the things we care about.
• Because it does not include any information about the interview, which is another critical insight into the candidacy of any prospective applicant.
• Because a forums post cannot communicate the complexity of an applicant's life story, circumstances, and so forth; even if they were to replicate all the answers to their essay questions, we still have additional data external to the application that we consider in understanding an applicant's context.
