Chances at Yale?
AA Male, 173, 3.68
Softs:
*1 year of work experience at a fortune 500 company
*Multiple publications in academic journals
*Amazing LoRs
*Double major in History and Finance (3.9 GPA in both majors)
*Lots of volunteer work and extra-curriculars in UG, but nothing especially out of the ordinary.
Do I have a shot?

I don't think you have a strong chance. Unless you think your PS or softs are that much better than the average Yale candidate, I'm not sure I would even waste the application fee.

Sort of a black box, but good. Enjoy one of HYS.

Re: Chances at Yale?
You claim you got a 3.9 in both your majors (history and finance), so where the hell does the 3.68 come from?

I missed the part where he said he was an African American. Whoops! Yeah, obviously it is worth an application fee. Well done. I'm sure you'll get into HYS

Sure Yale is a black box. But I think it is a black box that you will get into with a good application and excellent essay.

No clue if OP can put together a good app dude. People with good apps get rejected all the time.Angrygeopolitically wrote:Sure Yale is a black box. But I think it is a black box that you will get into with a good application and excellent essay.

? I didn't say he could put together a good app. or that people with good apps don't get rejected. I said that I think he would get in with a good app/essay.

They'll probably send a limo to pick you up.

Re: Chances at Yale?
AA male + 173 on LSAT + not terrible GPA = winning. Yale is not guaranteed, but you will probably get in if you seem like a decent human being on your app. Harvard is a lock. Stanford is extremely likely.
