Can I get into Yale or Georgetown?
-
Hi, I am a freshman in high school and really would like to become a lawyer then a politician. The two schools I really want to get into are Yale or Georgetown. I will be going into 4 honors next year and plan to take all honors and ap in junior year. I have a 3.8 gpa I do community service and many clubs in school. I also go to a private school if it makes a difference. Any other questions ask, but I want to know if my hopes are too high and if they are what other school would you recommend. Thanks

Answer:
You are not a shoe in. Yale gets over 20,000 applications and enrolls about 1500 freshman. Just doing the math, you have a slim chance of getting in. Most applications they get are from top notch students with Honor and AP classes with high GPA's You do realize you need a four year Bachelor degree before Law school? Starting the end of sophomore year start going on college visits with your parents. Call up the colleges at least two weeks ahead of time and ask for a meeting with admissions and a tour of the campus.

You're on the right track. Keep the GPA up and the extra-curricular activities going and you'll be a shoe in.
