<p>Hi, I’m one of many HS juniors in love with Yale.
Given the following stats, am I out of my mind to apply early? What can I do to make myself more competitive?</p>
<p>Junior Classes: AP Biology, AP US II, Spanish IV HH, English III HH, Precalculus H, Sacraments and World Religion, Humanities (Middle College Program for credit)</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 94</p>
<p>Weighted GPA: 98</p>
<p>SAT: 790 CR, 700 W, 620 M (taking it again in March)</p>
<p>PSAT: 690 CR, 800 W, 700 M</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: Chorus, Vocal Ensemble, A Cappella, HS Musicals at my school and a regional HS (shows have won regional awards), President/Founder of a female human rights club, Girl Scout.</p>
<p>Volunteer: Asst. Teacher at an ESL class every Sat., part of a music group that sings at nursing homes, hospitals, etc.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t rank but I’d assume I’m in the top 10% of a grade of 130 or so.</p>

<p>I go to an extremely competitive all-girls Catholic prep school, BUT - freshman year I went to my town’s public HS and had a horrific experience so I left. My grades from my old HS aren’t anything to be proud of but I’ve completely improved since I transferred out.</p>
