My chances of getting into Yale

@jzducol slight correction. The publicized Wade quadruplets had a 29-33 ACT score range. One had a 29, one a 32, and two a 33. (I just looked at their thread).

The two 33s were about average for Yale in terms of scores. The 32 slightly below but admissible on his own merit, and the 29 one was within the 25% range-- but all were ranked highly in their class (I think in an article somewhere I read that they all had 3.9+ unweighted GPA’s and ranked in the top 25 students in their class of 700)

I personally “only” got a 31 and will be attending Yale in the fall, so don’t lose hope! Never forget that you scored higher than roughly 96% of test takers so your score is still impressive. At a certain point (I think around a 31 or 32), adcoms are like “alright we get it, the kid can take a test-- what else can he do?” So you just need to find your “what else”.
