<p>From a '11 Yalie. People keep ragging you about your 32 on the ACT. Sure you can better and up to a 36 but don't let that get you down. I received a 32 on the ACT and still happened to get into Yale and am attending in only one more month! Anyways seriously think about the difference between a 32 and 34 people, what is it? A five problem difference? I think as long as you show some competency you should be fine. Everyone who applies to Yale has the scores of 32+, or ~2200 on the SAT. People with 36's and 2400's get rejected too so don't fret.</p>

<p>Worry about what sets you apart from the thousands that all obviously have the scores, your essays, recommendations, extra-curriculars, etc. To be honest I don't think that anyone could really tell you that you were guaranteed a spot at Yale unless you're double legacy and the library is named after you. Of course unless you're a Bush. Anyways best of luck and hope to see you in the fall of '08.</p>

<p>PS. No I am not a legacy or rich at all. I'm just another Asian guy from San Francisco who got into Yale with a 32 on the ACT and 2180 on the SAT. And no I'm not national anything or crazy this or that. </p>

<p>Best of luck (skill) and hope your admissions process is pleasant.</p>

<p>lol no I'm going to be competing with a fellow member in EA. I'd say if you get phenomenal rec's and write essays that cause the adcom's hearts and brains to dissolve, your chances are as good as any</p>

<p>Props to you for being valedictorian. Your ACT score and EC’s are mediocre for Yale, however. Yale is my dream school too, but there are plenty of options that are also a good match. You are a shoo-in for Barnard, that is your safety, so don’t even worry about that. If you love Yale, then you’ll absolutely love UPenn – it’s slightly easier to get into. Other schools you might want to consider for reach schools are WashU, Brown, UChicago, Georgetown, and Tufts.</p>
