How to get into Yale University?

  • I am a high school junior. And I want to get into Yale. So far I've been getting 4.0, except this year: 3.9 something. I'm taking as much AP classes as I can, and trying to pass them if not earn college credit. I am in the total of 4 clubs and I consistently participate in them. I work (helping out with my family business) so I do not have time to do sport (sad!!). I am in Key Club so I do many community service and volunteering. During the summer, I plan to apply for the Junior Statesmen of America (the session at Yale), law camp in Los Angeles and in the fall, go on a trip to Washington DC for the National Youth Leadership Forum on Law. I've got invited to all of those. Is this enough? Because I do not feel like it's enough. I know that I also need a killer point on the SAT/ACT, many international achievemnets. I'm working on that. Anybody has any advice for me please? I REALLY want to go to Yale and I am doing the best I can.

  • Answer:

    you got the volunteering down and the grades and the clubs and the academic things i would just suggest... relax breathe in and out you're doing a lot and although it may not seem like a lot trust me, it is people that go to yale are not perfect i will guarantee that individuals w/ 3.8 gpas and lower will be accepted just do good on your sat and await the results but don't just assume you're gonna get in i'm not saying this to be a loser i went into college w/ 1.5 years of college credit from ap courses it didn't seem a lot in high school but now i'm seen like this genius so chill relax it's ok to breathe if you really want to do more try to get some leadership experience i'm pretty sure that helps a lot like lead a club or make your own organization... and you can also take ap tests that don't have an ap class at your high school i took ap art history (moment of insanity) and i had to study for that by myself... shows motivation, dedication, ability to be focused and on task w/o someone telling you to be

There are so many applicants to Yale that having perfect grades and test scores isn't enough to get you in. They are necessary, but they are not enough. Doing as many activities as possible also doesn't always help. Admissions officers look for people whoare trying to "pad" their resumes. I hear that colleges like deeper involvement in one activity over time better than long lists. Its better to get a leadership position in one club than to have two other clubs on your resume.
