Yale SCEA Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

4.9 GPA, 36 ACT

@HenryFeddersen
4.0 uw
1540 SAT (only took one time)
790 CRW
750 M
Ranked 1/267
I’m from a small rural town though so I don’t think I really hold up to applicants from private schools or more competitive publics/ city schools. I’m the only one in my class applying out of state at all, and no one from my school has ever made it into a top 20 that I know of.

Haha so I am president of Art Club and I organized a four hour mural painting session from 1 pm to 5 pm on the 15th purely so I could do something fun as decisions come out (they come out at 3:00 my time lol). So I will be painting a twenty foot wall Thursday, with all my artsy friends <3 .

@HenryFedderson

UW: 3.88/4.0
Weighted: 5.3/6.0
Rank: 1/540
ACT: 33
*pretty much average based on stats alone

May I inquire why you are asking?

@elijaheliot LOL. I’m going to be at work till 7 and I don’t know how I’m going to refrain from checking.

Hi guys, not sure why I found this thread only now(probably because I’m getting increasingly anxious about 12/15). I’m an international student from Poland and applied SCEA, but I know it will not be easy to get in. My SATs aren’t perfect (1460(700+760)), got 800 in Math 2 like probably everyone here. I have a 43p predicted grade in IB Diploma(7/7/7 in Higher levels) and had a 4.3GPA during my exchange program in the US. Also got some interesting extracurriculars in politics(chairman of election commission) and meteorology + some domestic awards and scholarships. I don’t get my hopes up too high. My unconventional education and extracurriculars result in inability to easily compare myself with others, but would lie if I didn’t dream of getting in on Thursday and I think I stand some kind of a chance. I wish you all good luck :slight_smile: I strongly believe that if I don’t get in, it just wasn’t meant to be :slight_smile:

Don’t do it!!! Don’t even take your phone to work. @mdchang99 I’m definitely a crier and so I’m waiting till I’m home, with coffee and my cat, covered in mural paint.

I have a low test score: 31 ACT, and also 4.0/4 unweighted GPA and 4.47/4 weighted GPA. But, I think my subjective stats will hopefully set me apart. I have my own business, and have started many clubs for community service!

You are so much more than a test score @andie2017 , not that 31 is a bad score at all. My best friend is brilliant in conversation and a terrible test taker. Hopefully AO will see you, not a number <3

Last night I had a dream that I got into Yale. It was a pretty long dream too so it began to feel really real. Then I woke up and realized I hadn’t actually gotten in. Then I fell back asleep and had the same dream that I got in. Then I woke up and realized again that I wasn’t in yet. It was pretty pretty disappointing to go from from the emotion of “I GOT IN!!!” to “oh nvm”.

I was just asking out of interest :slight_smile:

Thank you so much!! :slight_smile: @elijaheliot

I couldn’t fall asleep because I was worrying about Yale, then I dreamt about Yale, and then I woke up and worried more. Ughhhh I need to stop, this is gonna be the longest 4 days I’ve ever had

My mom sat me down and she said, “you know you’re not getting in, right? You’re a painfully ordinary applicant.” (Let’s just say my mom’s a realist).

I’m so scared for this Thursday. I’m glad that I’m not expected to get in so that I don’t disappoint anyone if I don’t.

Also for whoever was asking, I have a 98.6 UW and 100.46 W GPA (my school doesn’t do it out of 4 or whatever). 34 ACT. The usual

35 ACT, 1560/2310 SAT (I took the old one)

4.0 UW GPA, 5.17ish/6 W GPA (SC has a really weird GPA system and they just changed it this year but didn’t retroactively change our GPAs so now they all look low…)

3/360ish class rank

@Dukehopeful98 literally same exact thing happened to me lol!

Anyone interested: 4.0 UW. 4.75 W. (1/300ish)
2380 superscored, 2310 highest sitting

33 ACT, 2230 SAT, 4.8 GPA (Valedictorian), both scores were single sittings

I’m not sure why, but I’ve been calmer about Yale this week than I have for the last two years. I think it’s because after seeing all of my friends rejected from UPenn ED and only 1/28 get into Stanford EA, I realized that everyone else is in the same boat as me and that if I get rejected, I’ll have the majority of people that applied early somewhere to commiserate with.

Lol 23 colleges I already sent out 18 of them though . You can guess how my weekends have been this semester

Why would you apply to that many?? I don’t think I could find that many I like haha @nate1991
