Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

Hello, everybody.

  Before I begin I'd like to thank you for taking your time into reading this discussion.

My dream college is Yale! Yale is where I wish to be admitted. Despite how badly I want to attend Yale, my chances are very low. I’ll be discussing them further.
First let me begin by telling you about me.

I am currently a Freshman (9th Grade), 13 years of age. (Back in elementary, I had straight A+'s, and was N1, the school’s principal had no choice but to make me skip a grade)
I am an international student who currently resides in Morocco.
I have been going to an American School my entire life.

Languages:
-English (Fluent)---- 10/10
-Arabic (Fluent Enough)— 8/10
-French (Fluent Enough)— 8/10
-Spanish (Not as fluent)— 6/10

(Note: My School doesn’t send every single grade to colleges. They take the average of every 2 quarters, which is a semester and send those. In my semester 1 I have straight A’s

AP Classes:
0
My school only offers 2 AP classes and they’re only for Juniors and Seniors.

Extra-Curricular:
-Swimming
-Debate
I’ve won many trophies
2cnd Place Program of Oral Interp (National Tournament)
2cnd Place Policy Debate (National Tournament)

I don’t like to guess what I’ll be doing in the future, but I’ll try for
-Interact Club (Helps Poor People)
-Student Council
-Create 3 clubs, in which I’m President in all of them.

Legacy: None

Well that’s me!
What colleges do you think I have a good chance in? and more specifically what are my odds for Yale?

It’s way too soon to be worried about that. Go hang out with friends :slight_smile:

While it is too early, I encourage you to achieve & maintain proficiency or fluency in all 4 languages. This will then make you a more attractive candidate for admission to many highly selective American colleges & universities.

Middlebury College has a language institute, Georgetown University has a School of Foreign Service, Johns Hopkins University, Tufts University & Claremont McKenna College are all worthy of consideration.

If you are an American (US) citizen, then certain schools may help you obtain internships with the US government or strategic think tanks. College of William & Mary, Yale, Harvard, Princeton & other elite schools.

Arabic & the Mandarin dialect of Chinese are sought after languages.

If, for example, you attend Georgetown University School of Foreign Service (in Washington, D.C.), you will be required to study two additional languages.

Although you are young, I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining & improving your linguistic skills.

I notice a lack of science courses, however.

Enjoy being a 13 year-old teenager now and worry about colleges later! ;:wink:

Well, I take IPC which is basically physics and science. In the few later years, I’ll be forced to take Physics and Biology.

I agree. Please don’t start worrying this early-- not only can we not give you a good idea but you need to not stress about this for years. Take a break, don’t check this site for around a year, and then return if you must.
