<p>As annoying as these can be, will someone please chance me for Yale (I have a lot of nervous energy built up waiting for the 15th)?</p>

SAT: Math: 700 Writing: 630 (English?) 680
ACT: 34
SAT IIs: Math II: 780 USH: 740 Chem (I wrote them a letter about this, had only taken Chem I at this point): 550 (yeah…really low, if I am deferred I will take it again now that I am in AP Chem)</p>

<p>Grades:
UW: 4.0
W: 4.2
Class Rank: 1 out of 195</p>

<p>AP:
5 Classes Junior Year: (5 in both calcs, 5 in psych, 4 in english, 3 in US History)
5 AP’s senior year</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars:

<p>Volunteer:
Worked with John Dau Sudan Foundation summer before senior year.</p>

<p>Strengths: Great GPA and class rank as well as extra-curriculars (I’m involved in so much I rarely get to eat lunch at school). Involved in sports as well as every band offered.</p>

<p>Weaknesses: SAT scores and community service.</p>

<p>So what do you think?</p>

<p>how did you take both calcs junior year?</p>

3

<p>You’ve got a shot, but you pretty much know what you’re strengths and weaknesses are.
I wish I could say more, but it’s Yale… and you never know.</p>

4

<p>At my class each class is an hour and a half long (we only take four a semester), so pretty much we cram each calc into a semester. It is actually really effective. All eleven of us passed the test and 5 of us got two fives. The problem with Yale though is that there isn’t a magic number that you have to get to or anything. It is all about being able to sell who you are to the decisions people.</p>

5

<p>the thing is.</p>

<p>collegeboard doesn’t let you take both ab and bc in the same year/the tests are administered at the same time. so unless you somehow were able to like take both tests in the same time slot (via a time machine) or late-tested (still against CB’s regs) idk how you would’ve done it.</p>

<p>do you mean your ab subscore was a five?</p>

6

<p>Oh, sorry, I misunderstood you there. I meant my subscore was a 5. Sorry about that, everyone in my class just kind of counts them separately (we had a few 5s on AB but 3s on the BC subscore). I should have clarified that.</p>

7

<p>i don’t think being unable to eat lunch is necessarily a good thing.</p>

8

<p>lol just scrap your SAT and use the ACT. A 34 is pretty good.</p>

9

<p>lol, dude I think it’s too late, he did EA. </p>

<p>But yeah, ACT much better for you than the SATs (I) (II) could be better too, but I find my II opinions are skewed so hard because the median at my school is too high to mention.</p>

10

<p>i am in both cals Ab and BC(only one ever in my school to do so), and you can take both ap exams. You just take ap exam form B next week. my teacher made sure it was possible.</p>
