<p>If you have lived in another country extensively, how much will that help for Yale SCEA? Another question: If you stand out from the rest of the pool, even though your stats are about average or slightly below, will they take you because you were unique?</p>
<p>no, Yale HATES unique people… ahahahaahahha
OF COURSE THEY’LL TAKE YOU!
the problem is: just because YOU, “modestly”, think you’re unique, it doesn’t mean THEY will think you are…</p>
<p>residence is just a point of curiosity unless it contributes significantly to you as a great student. That being said, average or slightly below avg stats will be weighed much more than your “uniqueness” which really, doesn’t have anything to do with you – it’s just where your parents were living at the time. </p>
<p>Knowing the competitiveness of SCEA, I wouldn’t be buying helium balloons for December 15.</p>
