Hey Jules (or any other Yalie),
I am going to be a sophmore at a fairly small public high school in a small Colorado ski resort community next year. I have been looking at Yale since I was like 7 or something and I was just wondering what my chances of getting in:
-All A's and that doesn't look like it will change at all.
-2nd in class rank
-Working toward IB MYP Certificate
-I took all IB Honors classes last year.
-Here is a look at next year's schedule:
IB MYP English Year 5 (Honors Sophmore English)
IB MYP Humanities Year 5 (Honors Sophmore World History and Geography)
IB MYP Science Year 5 (Honors Sophmore Biology)
IB MYP French IV (Honors French IV) {I will be the only Sophmore with all Jrs. & Srs.}
IB DP Mathematics SL Year 1 (Honors Calculus AB) {Please note this is a Jr. class}
Spanish IV (not Honors because it was scheduled at the same time as French)
CMC Geography (College-level course usually offered to higher-level Seniors through the local Community College)
-Haven't taken SAT or ACT yet but I am an excellent test-taker.
-I play football, basketball, and am thinking about baseball next year (but not good enough to play in college)
-Vice-President (de facto President) of Interact club and am projecting to be President next year as well as later on the President of National, Spanish, and French Honors Societies
-I am considering going on Rotary Youth Exchange to somewhere in Europe as a Junior
-Teachers love me so I can get great Recommendations
-I was born in Mexico, so I guess I could say I am Hispanic although I am actually pretty darn white.
-Grandfather attended Yale Public Health and is on the application review committee or something like that and probably knows many good people.
-Have many Community Service Hours
So if anybody could either tell me what my chances of getting in are or what I should try to do differently, please let me know.
