YALE--do you think i have a chance?!?!?!

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>Hey, do you think I have a chance? Should I even apply?</p>

<p>I’m a junior and I currently attend a great college prep school (2nd best public prep school in california). I know I want to study law, but as for what profession I want, I’m not exactly sure…I’ve taken nothing but honors classes since my freshman year–except this year I’m taking two AP classes. Here’s the list:</p>

<p>(this year)
Physics, Honors
US History, AP
Human Anatomy, Honors
Accounting, Honors
English–Writing, AP
Finite Math, Honors</p>

<p>Last year, I volunteered at a local library and worked every week
I have won various awards in FBLA–business law and other divisions
active member in FBLA for two years so far
active member of Key Club
active member of Enviromental Science Club
my gpa is a 3.5, and yes i know i need to work on that…</p>

<p>I’ve always done well on essays, so I feel pretty confident about my admissions essay.
I have a few good teachers in mind, that I know very well, for my recomendations</p>

<p>I rank average at my school–it’s pretty tough competition
During the summer, I enjoy taking art classes at a local community college</p>

<p>–yes, I know I need to do more work to make my application look better…but being a junior and still having time to improve, do you think i have a chance? What should I do to improve?</p>

<p>if you do really well on your tests…you will have a decent chance, but a gpa like yours will make things tough for ya (im in the same situation)…if your school is VERRRY competitive and well-known, a “low” (its not actually low) GPA may be ok…good luck in your pursuits</p>
