I feel old. I applied to Yale early, got deferred then rejected. Some stats…uhhhh let me think.

A concise version:

I’m from NS. Only applied to need-blind schools (upper middle class but no chance of affording $50k a year)
34 on the ACT. 760 Math II, 710 Physics, 670 French.
Predicted 43 IB score when I applied and top ranked (school didn’t rank - officially top 1%). (Math, Physics and Chem HL)
Student Council President + a bunch of other student government stuff
Debate Club (captain + a lot of national awards)
Went to TASP (look it up in the Summer Programs forum)

I mean, there was a lot more to the application haha. I knew I was competitive when I applied.
