Does my SAT score effect my chance of getting into Yale or Harvard?

Question

Currently I am a senior with a 4.0 gpa. I have taken three college classes last year and am taking two this year. I am involved in LINK crew, National Honor Society, volunteering, and will be ASB President next year. I play varsity sports year round (basketball, volleyball, tennis) and worked in the summer and plan on working weekends during school. I am ranked 1 out of 720 in my class.

However my SAT was an average 1790... did I blow my shot?

Answer 1

Well ...my childhood friend went to Yale and her brother to Harvard.

Her brother had perfect SAT scores. She was always a straight A

But they were also well rounded. They were in the county orchestra. debate team, tennis team ...volunteers

You need to show them that you have more than grades. Your integrity, morals, richness in character, what you hope to get out of your education at Yale, Harvard. How you plan to contribute to society after graduating.

They want to see a complete well rounded individual. Solid in other areas besides academics.
