<p>Re-update it: I'm going for Spanish/International Studies.</p>
<p>yay the juiceisback! I'm doing Spanish/Int'l studies also!</p>
<p>Okay, now there are 33 of us, which (according to the 20% CC rate from last year), means 6.6 of us will get in. We only need 2 more EAers to bring it up to a full 7. Let's start recruiting.</p>
<p><em>waves</em> I actually joined this board and posted once, but then the forums changed. I decided to wait until there was a new EA thread or something like that... I already sent in my application for EA, so count me in! I'm interested in archaeology or history.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I'm going to be a poli sci major</p>
<p>Sent in my application yesterday. Now it's out of my hands. Scary...</p>
<p>there should be more than just 31 on this board for yale ea for sure.</p>

<p>You have thejuiceisback twice. Unless there's actually 2 of them. Creepy.</p>
<p>I think it would be interesting to compile more statistics on the EA people than just their major, such as academic index or something. Anyone else think this is a good idea?</p>
<p>how about the net total of their SATs and top three SAT IIs. So it'd be out of 4000. The Academic Index is wierd.</p>
<p>yeah, its weird, but I think it is still used by yale (i've heard people from yale describe how your academics are converted to a "special scale" out of "a possible 9 points"). Maybe we could have both?</p>
<p>how does that work?</p>
<p>The yale scale-out-of-9 system? Its just the academic index that they use on this site, if I'm not mistaken. Well, the people I talked to didn't exactly say "academic index", but I assume that is what it is.</p>
<p>im not sure how the one out of 9 works, but CC has a free calculator deely you can use and it will give you your (approx) AI, out of 9/240, so it wouldnt be hard for all of us to add our AIs here.</p>
<p>The AI thing is pretty sketch. I think we need to have a definitive way of calculating it.</p>
<p>When i used my rank I have a 225... When I used top 10% I had a 223, and when I used my GPA I had a 236.</p>
<p>I think we should all use decile or rank.</p>
<p>Weighted rank is the most helpful. However, if all you have is decile, that is what Yale will see anyway. </p>
<p>By all means, the AI is not perfect at all. I just think it would be interesting to see how our results correlate to AI.</p>
<p>but davidrune is right, we all need to do it the same way, and since not everybody receives their rank from their school, i vote that we use the GPA</p>
<p>Lol, there is no perfect way to do it. My school ranks GPA out of 5, not 4. I say everyone just picks the method that they will actually submit to yale, because that is the actual score that they will be judged on.</p>
<p>Either that, or just pick the method that gives you the highest result.</p>
<p>lol
thats a good point newt, because all of those methods of calculation will be sent to Yale by my school, and my index ranges from 5 to 8 depending on which method i use, and from 215 to 226. ill stick with 8, 226 then</p>
