Chance at Yale Law School(Navy SEAL)

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I am an Active-Duty Navy SEAL. My Tour is ending and so is my contract. I would like someone to give me my chances at Harvard or Yale Law School, so as to which I will decide whether to apply or not. Here is my background…
I graduated a competitive public high school in 2004 with:
Unweighted GPA:3.91
Weighted GPA:4.41
SAT:2390
W:800 R:800 M:790

In 2004 I was accepted into Harvard University.

I graduated in 2008. Afterward, I commisioned into BUDS training as an officer and then further training until I was awarded my Trident. I have been a Navy SEAL for five years now and my term ends next year. I am looking forward to attend Yale Law School if at all possible.</p>

<p>Your chances are very high. Seriously, practically a shoo-in.</p>

3

<p>Just wondering how you graduated high school in 2004 with an 800 on the writing section when it wasn’t added to the SAT until March 2005…</p>

4

<p>I never thought Yale Law School took in account high school…</p>

<p>Yale: Aim for 175+ on the LSAT (if you scored 175+ on the LSAT you might want to consider Chicago, Harvard, Stanford or Columbia)</p>

<p>Because he is trolling.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>But others may not have realized it. There are so few Division 1 athletes who play two sports, I don’t think there are any who currently play 3 sports, and for all four years??? …All four years and those ECs?? Let a real Navy SEAL find that wannabe and see what happens…</p>

<p>The writing score is the score I got when I recently retook the test on my own time. The Math and Reading scores are from when I took it in High School.
High School Scores:
M:790
R:800
Recent Retake Scores:
W:800
R:790
M:690</p>

<p>I was not on the cross country team but I ran cross country, or long distance, every weekend to prepare for BUDS and to increase my farthest distance. Also I was a graduate of BUDS Class 271. If you do not wish to believe me you do not have to, but I’m simply stating the facts.</p>

<p>In addition, you can’t major in Political Science at Harvard College. You can concentrate in Government.</p>

<p>On the contrary…</p>

<p>[Government</a> Handbook for Students 2010-2011](<a href=“http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k69286&pageid=icb.page348692&pageContentId=icb.pagecontent722242&state=maximize&viewParam_amp;amp;amp;name=Government&viewParam_amp;amp;amp;view=view.do]Government”>http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k69286&pageid=icb.page348692&pageContentId=icb.pagecontent722242&state=maximize&viewParam_amp;amp;amp;name=Government&viewParam_amp;amp;amp;view=view.do)</p>

11

<p>Why did you take the SAT again?</p>

12

<p>Am I missing something? That document says “Government” all over it. And Harvard has no concentration in something called “political science.”</p>

<p>At least, not eons ago when I actually knew more about the College than I do today, and not that I can find on Harvard College’s online list of concentrations.</p>

<p>If you mean only to say that what Yale calls “political science” Harvard calls “government,” I know that. Many of us do. But your calling it by the wrong name makes me doubt you were a Cantab.</p>

13

<p>This is the only thread you have participated in OP.</p>

14

<p>He said he graduated with the writing score in OP. Then when called out, he says he took it at a later date.</p>

15

<p>I just don’t see the point. He was at Harvard so he did not have a reason to take it again.</p>

16

<p>First, thanks for serving our country.
Secondly, Yale will most likely accept you (99% chance), especially since you’re a Navy SEAL and since you have an impressive high school record (and the fact that you’d previously been accepted at Harvard).</p>

17

<p>I’ll play along. Here are the rosters for Harvard’s football and swim/diving teams for the time period. There is no one who is listed on both rosters…</p>

<p>What do u have to say to that OP?</p>

19

<p>I’m looking back over your info and reading other comments. I feel pretty dumb now.
Thanks for lying.</p>
