[quote=Anonymous]I speak as a college counselor that just retired after 30+ years. Yes, Yale is a lovely place to spend 4 years and get an education, I have no doubt, but it is a nearly impossible admit. In the last 10 years, I saw only 3 kids from my school get in and they were so unique and different that I remember each of them: - white, UMC male who showed immense commitment and dedication to a specific public service cause over many, many years - white, poor male, single parent home - his extracurriculars were working two low-paid jobs while helping take care of a younger sibling - URM female that came into this country as a refugee with her family All three were also excellent, high stats students. But my point is how can a great, hard working, high stats kid whose parents worked hard to provide him with a stable MC or UMC upbringing stand out against kids like this? That’s why I am saying that it is a crapshoot. [/quote]
