<p>Admit (under SCEA) for Class of 2013 here. I agree with amciw in that 5th reason listed by hannahmontana is not that important; I’ve never been anywhere outside of the United States (except for the Bahamas, which doesn’t really count), and I didn’t write my essay/personal statement about a trip (I wrote mine about how playing on my school’s varsity basketball team has affected my psychological/social development). </p>
<p>Anyway, I’m completely hookless (no connections, no legacy, white male, no athlete, from a region that produces a lot of Yalies, not international, etc), but I do fulfill the four “requirements” that hannahmontana posted. I had a 3.97 UW GPA (one B+ in Spanish in 9th Grade), with 8 AP classes (my school limits the amount of AP’s a student can take), a 2370 SAT, a musician who has created several big community service projects in the field of music education at the grassroots level, and I have interests in everything to music, drama, quizbowl, basketball, and community service. </p>
<p>I’m really thankful that Yale has accepted me and has given me a chance to change the world- I can’t wait to see the 2013 Yalies next year! </p>
<p>P.S. See the SCEA 2013 thread for a complete picture of my profile, if you guys so desire…</p>
