Students commonly want to know what part of the college application “carries the most weight.” The truth is, there are many parts to your application, and together they help us discover and appreciate your particular mix of qualities. Academic criteria are important to Yale’s selective admissions process, but we look at far more than test scores and grades.
Academic sds
Your transcript is a significant part of your application. We look at your overall record, from all four years of high school.
We also consider your standardized test scores.
Recommendations tell us a great deal about the way you think and learn, how you contribute to your school community, and what you add to a classroom dynamic.

You engage your community beyond the classroom. You take leadership positions when they are available, and you invest your energies into the activities you choose. You demonstrate a deep commitment to and genuine appreciation for what you spend your time doing.
