there is no one thing that leads to an acceptance. from what i’ve gathered talking to other future yalies, we are all superinvolved in many different school & community activities (along with being at the top of our classes) - and i dont just mean members of 3000 clubs, but instead president of 2 or 3. i mean, i’m editor in chief of the paper, captain of the xc team, class president…i could go on (but i feel like im bragging so i wont). but, someone i know who is valedictorian of his class, has taken 18 AP’s with 5’s on all the exams, and is an all-around genius, got rejected from several ivy’s, including yale. so, its not all about the grades- i think they’re looking for the “whole package”
