<p>Silence, even though the card didn’t say it, there is probably a good chance that it was because you checked the box on the PSAT. Check the average SAT/ACT scores for Yale on College Board to see what I mean. </p>
<p>It’s good that you’re cautious, but I just want to make sure that you’re being realistic. I went to a very (very!) high ranking high school and it was always kind of funny to see the younger students be cocky about their college choices. I knew a few people who ended up having to go to community college, because they only applied to Ivys or schools that were stingy with financial aid. Be sure to have a good list of safeties, especially if you really need money.</p>
