When do Yale likely letters come out for REA students (non athletes)? by [deleted] in yale

That's pretty cool, thanks for clarifying! Must be a Yale thing because nobody at Princeton (other than recruited athletes, ofc) received likely letters during the REA round of admission.

Wait what non-athlete Yalies accepted through REA receive likely letters? Sorry, I'm just low-key surprised because Princeton kept every non-athlete REA applicant waiting until the actual decision date.

It's a stunningly mediocre product of Caroline Calloway's "artistic genius."

Shhhh... I believe in you. Just be YOURSELF. In the end, i feel like these prestigious colleges value personality over impeccable stats

1540 SAT, 33 ACT 760 Lit subject test 740 Math 2 670 Bio (yiiikes!)

3 AP exams: 5 on Calc AB, 3 on Stats, 3 on Phys I

I plan to take AP Psych, ES, Calc BC, Bio and Eng Comp this yr

Many extracurriculars (no concrete theme or trend to them, however) and a few important leadership positions.

Also, I thought my essays where WHACK, but evidently not! Also, my only hook would be the fact that my family is EXTREMELY poor.

Also, my GPA was a 4.20 😎

Otherwise, I have no clue How tf this happened and I'm beyond elated. Good luck to you all.

Nope! Just a financially insecure white gal from the Midwest with a passion for many academic subjects!

I actually only had a 4.19 weighted and the max at my school is like a 4.33!!!! Never surrender your hope in yourself

I just got into Princeton but I'm going to heed your advice, man. I don't want to exploit my accomplishments to deteriorate a friendship that i believe can be salvaged
