specific 한 케이스를 보지 말고, 데이터부터 가져오길.



우선 예일 admission statistics 보자.


Test score ranges (25th to 75th percentiles) for enrolled freshmen:
SAT-Verbal: 700-800
SAT-Math: 710-790
SAT-Writing: 710-800
ACT: 32-35
means lower 25 got around 2120

1344 matriculants


Racial breakdown

Black: 6
Hispanic: 8
Two or more races: 4
Unknown: 12

Could not find the statistics for pct of recruited athletes for class of 2014

But for 2011
its
http://roarlions.blogspot.com/2007/12/no-room-for-athletes-at-yale.html

15 percent


So, let us assume that half of URMs are recruited athletes. It could be more, or less
but if we do, we have about 21~22 percent that are athletes and/or minorities. Plus, let us add in legaciesY: About 14 percent of last year\'s entering freshmen were children or grandchildren of alumni of the college, graduate school, or professional schools. The admissions rate for legacies is about 30 percent -- three times the rate for non-legacies.

but i wouldnt say all of them had bad grades/sub 2200 SATs

so let us assume that about a fourth of them did.

So we have about  24~25 percent of kids that are legacies/URM/Athlete


OF these, how many do you think have 2300+ SAT scores??


Probably very little.

Which MEANS

that 2000+ as an Asian has NO MERIT for Yale

some 2100+ may.

but you\'d have to be DAMN IMPRESSIVE. IM TALKING SHIT LIKE GOLD MEDAL IN AN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION, PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION, ETC ETC

so as an asian, GENERALLY, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO YALE YOU HAVE TO HAVE 2200+. and its only a given.
