Let me venture to guess. You do the best you can in high school: achieve high grades (you should always give your best), work in your community (it makes our community a better place to live), participate in your passion and give it everything you have (it makes life worth living). And of course, study for those dreaded tests (waste of time, but that is also a part of life). Wait, I just realized, the best part of preparing to apply to Yale, is that by doing it you can become successful anyway. So even if you are not accepted you will leave high school with a high set of skills. And isn’t that what learning is ultimately about?
