How to get into Yale

"What's the key to a successful application?" has been a timeless question for Yale College applicants. Reporters Clinton Wang and Caroline Pringle asked current Yalies for their answers — ones you won't get from the admissions office!

"Family connections and money" LOL

As a Yale student myself, for people actually interested in this question, I recommend that you not only hit the books hard to bump up your GPA and SAT/ACT, but you also need to be INVOLVED in the community. Schools like Yale receive TONS of applications from students with near perfect grades, but these students get rejected because grades aren't everything.
Get active, find a passion and develop it, and work hard

"This is a hard question"
"I have no idea"

How do you get into Yale? Be black, asian, gay, or any other minority...Or get recruited to play a sport there

[anthonyperugini]

This school is based on house hold income, if you are in the poverty range this school costs below $20, 000. This clearly proves that money doesn't matter. It is just a matter of if you are smart or not

[chilleverest]

Good looks ? yeah i saw those good looks behinds those big concave glasses.

[purifierphoenixthemecca]
