<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>First I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my post. I really want you to be as blunt as you can and tell me were I can improve so I can have the best possible chance of admission!</p>

<p>GPA: 4.08 (Weighted)
AP Classes Taken: 18
SAT: 1410</p>

<p>Honor Societies:</p>

<p>National Honor Society (General Member)
National English Honor Society (President, 2 term)
National Art Honor Society (President, 2 term)
Science National Honor Society (President, 2 term)
Quill and Scroll (Editor and Chief, 1 term)
Rho Kappa (President, 2 terms)

<p>Sports:</p>

<p>Crew (Club Coxswain, 5 years)</p>

<p>Legacy:</p>

<p>Grandmother: Earned her Masters and PhD (1970 and 1974)</p>

<p>18</p>

<p><strong><em>Term, as stated in the HS and Club section, is one school year</em></strong></p>

<p>Is your SAT out of 1600 or 2400? What’s your unweighted GPA? What’s your class rank? What do you mean by “Recommendations available”? Have you taken Subject Tests?</p>

3

<p>Do Honors Societies do anything, other than celebrate how honorable they are?</p>

4

<p>^No. Also, grandparents don’t count as legacies, it has to be a parent. Your grandmother’s affiliation with Yale can only help if she’s donated tens of thousands of dollars or more to Yale.</p>

5

<p>hellooooo…i think you’re missing some essential stuff…like SATII/AP SCORES!!</p>

6

<p>AP scores don’t count towards admission.</p>

<p>But ya you’re missing SAT 2 scores which are not only required, but also count towards admission.</p>

7

<p>A 4.08 weighted GPA with EIGHTEEN AP classes means your unweighted rank is something along the lines of 3.5 or less. Probably less.</p>

<p>So no, probably no chance. Especially if your SAT score is out of 2400…</p>

<p>Why do I get the feeling this is a ■■■■■? I mean… 18 APs by junior year, really?</p>

8

<p>AP scores DO count towards admission. although they are not REQUIRED, they still count!!</p>

9

<p>I think it is possible with a lot of time and effort. Make use of this year and improve your test scores, extracurriculars, and academics. Best of luck, 2015 :)</p>

10

<p>I don’t think someone with a 1400/2400 would even consider Yale.</p>

11

<p>You have a typo on your website. “Principal” should be “principle”.</p>

12

<p>3.8 unweighted.
Reconmendations Available" means that I have a stack of 18 letters at the ready when needed.</p>

<p>1410/1600 on the SAT</p>

<p>No I have not taken the subject test yet. </p>

<p>Thanks for your help</p>

13

<p>1410/1600 was the score. Hence why I am considering Yale.</p>

14

<p>I’ve taken most of them on FLVS, when I could not take them in class. At the present I am enrolled in 10. There were four in 9th and four in 10th.</p>

15

<p>Then could you tell me why on the Yale Ap. it states “have your parents, or GRANDPARENTS attended Yale?” clearly they take this into consideration.</p>

16

<p>SAT II scores won’t count for college admission after the class of 2011 which is me unfortunately… :stuck_out_tongue: and he’s 2015 so he’s going to have an easier time than me.</p>

17

<p>I’m just curious (I’ve seen it a lot on this board), but why do so many people report their scores out of 1600?</p>

18

<p>Ha Ha. No, honor societies donate their time and efforts to better the present educational system. We do community projects, school projects, International aid projects. I believe that being selected to be a member of these Honor Societies is a way to help those in need. I enjoy all of them.</p>

19

<p>Thats all colleges care about is the score out of 1600</p>

20

<p>Oh, well good for me then. I get to be one of the few, the proud, the brave who scored a 1600 twice. </p>

<p>And so what is the difference between, say, NHS and NEHS? NHS sends the underprivileged food and blankets and NEHS sends the underprivileged… Joyce?</p>
