Well, overall, she does stand a chance. The only thing that would bother me is her SAT score. It’s a little low. Not horrible, just a little on the low side. Also, Her UW GPA isn’t outstanding, but its good. However, her W GPA does show that she took many advanced courses. Unfortunately, Yale does look at your school profile very seriously and that might reflect poorly. But since she made the best of everything your school had to offer (as it seems), that does mean a lot. Wow, i hope she gets in (coming from another urban-dweller). Honestly, I think it could go either way, but even if she doesnt get accepted, her family’s “very-low income” should get her plenty of financial aid anywhere else she applies (so she shouldnt think that the Ivy’s will be the only top schools to grant full-tuition) and she can definitely get into plenty of great universities.
