Yale Chances

<p>Hey Guys,</p>

<p>I am a Junior at a relatively small (200/class) public school.</p>

<p>Freshman GPA 3.96 (slacker)</p>

<p>Sophomore GPA 4.04 (slacker)</p>

<p>Junior Year: (sharing my current grades)
AP Biology: A+
AP Chemistry: A+
AP Calculus AB: A+
AP United States History: A
AP Language and Composition: A
Honors Chinese III: A+
(4.89 GPA, not slacker so much lol)
(auditing Animal Behavior just for interest reasons and to have my freshman bio teacher in an actual class setting again, since I am having her write a recommendation)</p>

<p>Senior Year Schedule
AP Physics
AP Calculus BC
AP Gov't
AP Literature and Composition
AP Stat/AP Econ
Honors Chinese III</p>

<p>Scores:
ACT: Math 35 - Science 35 - English 34 - Reading 30</p>

<p>SAT: Math 800 - Writing 800 - Reading 670</p>

<p>SATII: Math II 800 - Chem 790 - Bio 800</p>

<p>(will take SAT and ACT again, just to get up reading (fml CR is such a bummer))</p>

<p>ECs:
EMT - ~500 hrs service before applying (this is by far the main EC, will elaborate in essays)</p>

<p>Founder/Captain of National Olympiad Science Team - based on how well we did last year entering the competition a month before the event (as opposed to studying all year long), will rank in top 3 schools, go to orlando for nationals if 1st)</p>

<p>Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program Youth Leadership Council: 3rd year as a member, now on executive board, write articles for ADAP in the the PTO paper and the town paper</p>

<p>Other, less important stuff</p>

<p>Others:
Finalist in state Chemistry competition as a sophomore, representing the school this year in USNCO, USABO, and several mathematics competitions</p>

<p>Essays will be great, Recommendations will be awesome (I know it is weird to have a freshman bio teacher write a recommendation, but if you knew the relationship I have with this teacher you'd understand)</p>

<p>Thanks guys... I know all I can hope for is to have that 15% shot that all applicants in the good-enough pool have, but even to get there would be a relief.</p>

<p>What’s your class rank?</p>

<p>Your CR score is not in range for an unhooked applicant. Your ECs are probably not Yale level. I’d say 15% chance is about right.</p>

<p>You look like a strong but not national level math/science kid, but not the ivy candidate, USAMO level yet. You’ll get into many good colleges but probably not ivies.</p>
