If you want to get into Yale you better improve your English score because in college you must complete one year of English before applying to medical school. Also college English will force you to improve your english if you work very hard but you don't necessary need to go to Yale to get accepted by prestigious medical school. But to improve read more books and pursue your English teacher more like ask him how to write better. The thing is writing is practicee and you must understand how to gain the "flow" and the "structure". When I was in US my writing was bad but now i can proof read US people's essay and find flaws in them. I have two advice work hard and READ! Not just fast read but critically think each sentence why they write it like this and what it means and how do the whole reading works. Remember there are like at least 1000 similar or better people who wants to go to Yale too

Yale? Get nearly perfect on everything. Have something that REALLY stands out!! Learn a few languages! President of an organization that makes media news, would get a good look from them.

Answer 3

No one can tell you how to get into Yale. The truth is that so many exceptional students apply to Yale and so few can be accepted that unless you do something really extraordinary, it comes down to luck whether you get in or not.
The good news is that there are lots of other wonderful programs out there! Then do the things that everyone always tells you to do, get great grades (and work hard on your English skills), get meaningfully involved in activities, study for the ACT/SAT to get good scores, and write moving essays that really capture why you're a good fit for that school (have other people read them and help you edit them).
Good luck, congrats on doing well so far, and I'm sure you'll be fine!
