What can I do to make my application stand out?

<p>It is my dream to go to Yale and I was wondering what else can I do besides getting good grades and great SAT scores to make my application stand out. I am a photographer and spend a lot of time volentering in a elementary school. I go to boarding school so my options are limited any advice?</p>

<p>I wrote down some thoughts in post #2 of this thread:</p>

<p>Hope it helps.</p>
