Well, this will be kept brief. I would love to go to yale, so this will be my qualification list

Gender: male

Ethnicity: white

Grade: 4.0 unweighted (97.8)

Rank: 4

ACT: 34 (math/english)

Other ACT scores: reading=36 science=29 essay=9

I read yale does not need subject tests if you take the act, so…

the most rigerous schedule my school will allow (does that mean anything, as my school is relatively small and does not offer a lot of aps, but i took the most rigerous schedule they offered like i said)

EC’s

-quizbowl since 9th grade, varsity each year and jv 9th and tenth

-second highest academic average in class for 9th grade

-entered science fair, does it matter if I did not win? because i did not

-won award for movie i edited and acted in

-edited and created the movies our school uses for graduation (the ones we give to the parents with a slide show of all the senior’s pics, the ceremony, etc)

-got invited by school to governors honor program

-was invited to take Kenesaw State math test (if you are from Georgia, you might know what it is, basically an impossibly hard math test)

-won state jv in 10th grade, placed 4th in state varsity last year

-wrote a novel that I am trying to get published

-working at average job

-can get recomendation from 2nd in command from boeing if it means anything lol

-um, well, thats about all i can muster for ecs… any advice for others?

And, as a side note, I only took the act once, so i wonder if i should take again to raise science score or are the other scores good enough so that it would look better to not take it more than once (whichever they look more favorably on)

Thank you all, sorry know it was not very short, but

-also, forgot, got invited to national competition for quizbowl jv in 10th grade and varsity in 11th grade
