Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<h2>Hey. First off, i really appreciate your help in evaluating me. Im really nervous about colleges, i applied ED Princeton University and the wait is killing me. In case i don't get in, Yale is another place that i really admire for its research and music as well. What is my likelihood of going here? Do i need to improve on anything? etc.? If there are any other good schools ("match" schools preferably) that match my interests it'd be great if you can mention them as well. Thanks!</h2>

<p>Looks good, but I'd like to know the SATII's you've taken, if you're going under a biochem major then the mathI SAT is kind of irrelevant, assuming that you've taken the MathII one already. Otherwise, I wish you luck with Princeton, you seem like a very passionate person, I hope you mentioned that in your essays.</p>

<p>Hey thanks a lot for your response. Im pretty sure my music teacher rec REALLY shows my passion for music, and so does my application itself. my main essay was about research, where i discovered the value of research and regarded it more highly than simply winning an award or something like that, so i hope that shows my interest for research as well. In the princeton supplemental essay, i also talked about having a twin lol (most influencial person), how i actually became independent through my twin by wanting to see a "different reflection" in my mirror or something like that lol. I dunno im not TOO physched about my essays, but i hope they'll suffice enough, especially for Princeton. Same goes for Yale............</p>
