<p>Lol. I kind of love you. You should get into Yale.</p>

<p>I have great stats and ECs, but I’m hookless…</p>
<p>@dirtyprojector
I made this thread because I wanted to see what the applicant pool looks like in terms of numbers. I said that numbers by no means define all of a person’s true strengths and weaknesses as an applicant, as there is so much more that goes into an application. </p>
<p>You should’ve just read my opening post…</p>
<p>So, I’m kind of realizing that I got a bit too upset. I’m sorry if I offended everybody. Those scores are something to be proud of. This whole process is just really stressful and seeing these numbers just kind of ****ed me off. Sorry everybody!</p>
<p>yeah. i get scared seeing all these numbers too</p>
<p>even though im sorta low on numbers and have mediocre EC’s, at least im proud to be competing against these awesome people! :)</p>
<p>Although I wouldn’t have expressed my feelings quite in the way he did, I do sort of agree with dirtyprojector. From what I understand, in fact everything I understand, about applying to Yale et al. is that the grades and scores are much less relevant than everything else. It’s taken as a given that they’re good and then it’s what’s on top that decides your fate. </p>
<p>Of course, I’m from England and only got into this college application experience a couple of months ago, while many of you have probably been looking into it for years, so I may be eactly wrong. That said, it does feel a bit like a “oooh look at what I got” thread.</p>
<p>Either way, @ Silverturtle, your salad rebuttal was very good!</p>
<p>^I agree that once you reach a certain range of scores, it’s more the essays, EC’s etc. that matter. But it’s interesting to see how many people reach those scores, and how well they do too.</p>
<p>The reality of it is that the two most self-selecting groups of applicants in the whole process are the ones that go Stanford REA or Yale SCEA. The test scores are merely the entry ticket; then the applicant has to show what else they bring to the table.</p>
<p>On the note that it’s an entry ticket, I’d agree. More likely than not, the scores aren’t going to make or break the applicant deep into the application process. I think it’ll just open the door to be seriously considered at best.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But the transcript is still the most important part of the application.</p>
<p>^^ srs discussion.</p>
<p>Well, back on topic:
SAT: 780/770/800 (one time)
SATII: Biology Eco - 780
SATII: Math II - 770</p>
<p>Class rank: School doesn’t rank, but probably 1% of 400ish.
GPA: 4.0 / 4.4</p>
<p>:)
ACT: 29
Class rank: 5/321
GPA: 99.547/100 (w)</p>
<p>SAT: 2350
SATII: 770/800</p>
<p>omg, it is just me, or are the stats significantly better this year? judging from this thread, having <2300 for SAT I is like an outlier…</p>
<p>Also, I’m a URM…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The average stats for this applicant pool are almost certainly about the same as those for the last applicant pool. Three layers of self-selection are coming into play on this thread: the decision to apply to Yale SCEA, the decision to come on College Confidential, and the decision to post in this thread.</p>
<p>Sat: 2380
Sat II: 800/800/780
Gpa: 4.00/95 (grade 9 really brought me down with the 91 average I got, but for the rest of the grades, I’ve really improved, so you never know, and an A in my school is 87, so I easily got a 4.00 GPA, but of course, I normally get 95+ grades)
Rank: 1</p>
<p>@Raul: 99% is amazing! Though why didn’t you retake the act?</p>
<p>@Xdarkness^ - I actually took it junior year and got a 27. I took it again in September and got a 29… 
I would retake it again, but I’m afraid that my math abilities are downtrending. I blame the achievement gap… :(</p>
<p>Bob: Hey Joe, what food are you bringing to the party tomorrow?
Joe: Fruit salad.
Bob: That’s cool; I’m bringing potato salad.
Third Party: Wow! We’re people, not salads. What’s wrong with you guys? Y’all need to get over your ability to make salad already.</p>
<p>I’m really sorry I’m not an admissions officer. Because if I was one, I would track you down immediately and accept you on the spot. That aside, please marry me now kthx.</p>
<p>"Also, I’m a URM… "</p>
<p>Well, being an URM is worth bragging? You should feel ashamed of being admitted by Yale because you achieved it with your race.</p>
