Is a 30 ACT score high enough to get into Yale?

<p>Composite: 30
English: 32
Math: 28
Reading: 32
Science: 28</p>

<p>I have a 4.14 weighted gpa (school does not calculate uw gpa), a ton of strong leadership and extracurriculars. I expect to apply early as a questbridge finalist.</p>

<p>According to the latest Common Data Set (see C9 data point), Yale’s 25th percentile ACT score is a 31, meaning that 75% of admitted students had a 31 or better ACT. So, unless you are offering Yale something extraordinary in terms of extracurriculars – recruited athlete, award winning musician, artist, playwright, researcher, scientist, mathematician etc – your chances, based just on your ACT score, are not that great (sorry).</p>

<p>Although if you receive QB finalist designation, that would be your lifeline. No one has great chances but best of luck to you.</p>
