how i got into yale | stats and extracurriculars

hi everyone! thank u for being so patient.... video is finally up!

after watching this, i realized that my extracurricular segment of the video is super vague... i didn't want to include toooo many details.... in my application, i focused on explaining some of the projects that i led and the impact that was made in quantitative form. for example, we hosted a shoe drive, and i shared how many pairs of shoes we were able to donate.

thank you so much for watching! more videos coming very soon...

Do you think a low gpa will immediately cancel my chances? I am an international student and we don’t have a 4.0 system but I have about 94-95 average for my highschool, I am taking IB. But there are other students in my school that also want to apply to Yale who have better scores than me. I am probably at top 10 out of 180, but I am scarred to try my chances. My ecs are good, but I never thought I would be able to apply to Yale, but after doing an extensive research, I feel I really do belong to Yale. It. Is my dream school, what do you think I should do? And also I am going to a very expensive private school, with an academic scholarship, and I don’t have that much many to spend on counselors. I am going to be working with a doctor, doing internship with a medicine company, and research during the summer, so I thought I would get ready for my essays during summer as well. I am just so regretful and sad that I didn’t maintain top scores during my years and missed my chances.

I'm actually competing in the Virtual Business Challenge this year for DECA. Do you have any tips? I have no clue what the event is about, but I went to ICDC last year for ESB start-up business plan.
