Like i know i will have to have a 4.0 GPA and at least 173 on the lsat's
But extra curricular and other sides outside academia what makes an individual stand out?
Has any members of here been admitted to Yale?

I've said this on another thread recently — but there isn't necessarily any single standout quality that is required for admission to Yale. Assuming your numbers are in a realistic range, just make sure to frame your application in a way that makes clear all that you have to offer as a student. For example, if your letter writers will be able to talk about your abilities as a student, make sure your essays/resume call attention to your other accomplishments. Every year, Yale admits a wide range of applicants from all walks of life — the trick isn't to find those magic soft factors that will make you a shoe-in, but to draw attention to how your specific talents, whatever they may be, will make you a good law student and a fit for Yale Law.
With that said, the first point made by the previous poster — that Yale, perhaps more than most schools, is very interested in how applicants performed in academic environments — is true. This is important to emphasize in a Yale application, as long is it doesn't come at the exclusion of other important aspects of your resume.
