WHADDOYA SAY???</p>

2

<p>You do realize that poetry.com is completely bs and a scam. So is the “Eternal Potraits” thing. Everybody gets into the book.</p>

3

<p>Yeah, don’t submit your work to poetry.com ever again.</p>

4

<p>fine guys io get the message, but atleast answer the real question i asked!!!</p>

5

<p>Your SAT is not bad coming from Pakistan with a possible language barrier. I’d still retake it though if possible.</p>

6

<p>Dont Get Me Wrong But People Dron Pakistan Get 1600 Too. Like My Class Fellow!!!
But Do U Think All My Other Achievments And Great Grades Will Be Ignored Just Coz I Got Avg Sat Score</p>

7

<p>Average SAT score for Yale is around 1490.</p>

8

<p>i know its high but sat scores are not the only thing they look at.
the yale person who came to our school said thjat 30% of 1600s get rejected.
so sat is not all that matters. despite having perfect scorers u can still get rejected.</p>

9

<p>How do you think your essays were? Don’t underestimate their importance…</p>

10

<p>only 30 %, i thought 50 %</p>

11

<p>Well, when you remember that it’s acceptance rate is about 10%. I’d say that a 70% acceptance rate for those with 1600 is pretty snazzy.</p>

12

<p>of course it also depends how many 1600 are there and what other accomplishments they have</p>
