OP’s stats (as posted on Yale Early Action thread):

Honest opinion please…
Straight to the point,
3.556 UW (48/314)
4.499 W (35/314)
IB Program
2280 SAT
34 ACT
Math SAT:790
Bio SAT: 750

I know that there are essays, recs, EC’s, but just based on this, do I have the slightest chance? I know my GPA is horrendous…but i have a reason for it. If i only took my freshman and junior GPA, I would have a 3.8. Something big happened sophomore year (mom hospital, dad had to work way overtime, brother diagnosed with depression, etc.). Family makes about $35,000 a year if that helps. Should I even think about applying?
