HOW TO GET INTO YALE: GRADES/GPA

[@JoshBeasley]

Thanks for watching! More videos in this series are coming soon!

[@derpboss2671]

My high school doesn't report weighted GPAs but i'm in the IB program with a unweighted 3.88 GPA Will that meet the ivy league benchmark?

[@jon7160]

Hey Josh I got 3.77 and 3.9 GPA freshman year. I’m going to take 2 honors classes this sophomore year. If I get a 4.0 or more gpa for the next 3 years. Will Ivy Leagues like the improvement in my gpa? I want to go to either UPenn or Yale

[@Kratos-gd8bx]

Though you point out some good points, like challenging yourself with AP & Honors classes is appealing to admissions officers, Colleges will not throw out you application if you dont meet an arbitrary benchmark. People from my school have gotten in to UPenn, Princeton, and Darthmouth with a 3.3 - 3.7 UW Gpa. They have an upward trend in their GPA (low in freshman and sophomore but 4.0 in junior and senior). While having higher GPAs helps, be aware that almost everyone applying has them, and truly it doesnt define an application as long as you show that you have been improving yourself or challenging yourself. (They also had high SAT scores so that was another validation to their effort)

[@dustinparker2013]

Truly don’t understand how you manage to take so many AP classes. I’ve had 2 this semester and I spend usually 3 hours per night on homework plus around 10 on the weekends. English takes up the most of my time though, with 2 of the hours coming from that.

[@Cole75510]

I really don't understand that. I go to a top public HS (top 15) and took 4 APs last year and got all As with around 1-1.5 hours of homework/night. What could possibly be taking so long..?

[@caitlin2143]

Share your secrets, I'm struggling with 2.

[@Cole75510]

Lmao I'm taking 5 this year and cannot keep us as much as I try. Guess I was lucky last year. Would not recommend BC Calculus

[@faizanasif2300]

Dude, keep doing what you're doing, this is such good stuff. VERY helpful and motivating as well as specific to everyone's needs. My school's system is on 4.0 unweighted, 5.0 weighed scale. We have academic classes, which are 4.0 classes, and Pre-AP/AP are 5.0 classes. As of rn I have a 3.92 going into sophomore year, with a 4.46/5.0 GPA. should I be fine?

[@benmartin2404]

Honestly, this video is very subjective. You can talk about what your grades were in high school but you can’t determine what the “GPA cut-off” is with colleges like Yale. The average GPA at Yale is a 4.19, Harvard is 4.04, and Princeton is 3.9. So there is no way to tell how the admission officers determine what a good GPA is, especially as specifically as you did.

[@rebeccakaiser972]

Ben Martin is that weighted or unweighted?

[@benmartin2404]

Rebecca Kaiser weighted

[@lilliampumpernickle4655]

Dagfinn pretry sure it's average gpa in the campus, so the average of the student's who are currently there

[@BeautyByRi868]

pretty sure that's unweighted because no way could that be the average of a 5.0 weighted scale

[@pengtroll6247]

its unweighted but some students send weighted scores because what yale would be saying is that our students averaged a 91 in their class which is good, but not enough for ivy league.

[@cranjusmcballer]

I feel very fortunate to have attended a high school that provided well over 25 AP classes, so I never felt like I was forced to take a course for the GPA. Even though I'm not a big science guy, AP Chem was one of my favorite classes I've ever taken, and social studies doesn't stick with me but AP Comp Gov is really fun. Basically, if you're debating if you should take a class just to get the GPA boost, try it anyway. Worst case scenario, you switch into another class, but at least you know

[@remmygreen7408]

Hi Josh! I understand you probably won't get this but you have been a HUGE inspiration for me. My dream is to get into an ivy league school, and I believe I am setting the paths for that. I'm currently applying to get into a college course high school that also revolves around music. Of course, there are times where I don't know if I can do it. I'm a 3.5 GPA student, and that puts me down sometimes, but you have honestly motivated me to study, and try harder, and I'm hoping for that 4.0! :)

[@fission7784]

hey Josh, quick question. i have a 4.7 GPA on the 5.0 scale but a 1270 on the SAT. what do you think colleges would think about that? I'm taking the SAT again but still

[@JoshBeasley]

?You should be fine, but try to raise your score as much as you can.

[@kayleyprada5420]

Umm what? A 4.7?

[@sophmcamp]

I know junior year is supposed to be the most important year to keep your GPA up for college applications, but I did very poorly compared to freshman and sophomore year. If I improve my grades senior year, will that make up for a rough junior year? (PS, I'm not applying to Yale, but I find your videos really helpful for applying to other competitive colleges.)

[@JoshBeasley]

Colleges only see your first semester senior year grades, so they won't do a lot in boosting your GPA. I would focus on strengthening the other aspects of your application.

[@federerharden]

Thank you very much. I'm a student in Taiwan local highschool and what you tell me about AP classes is helpful. THANKS!

[@cristamay8732]

Thank u so much for this!! I like to watch your videos when I need school motivation haha

[@kristaalbertins9257]

I love how you said you took AP classes when you didn't necessarily enjoy them...currently me with AP Chem and AP Physics C

[@szymongwozdz2338]

AP Chem is fun wdym.

[@Jordslife]

What is the Yale GPA needed on a 4.0 (total) scale?

[@ethanc4424]

Hey I am gonna be honest, I pretty much bombed second semester of my freshman year. I was at a totally different school in a new district that was over an hour away from my house. I hated the time consuming car rides and the people there, so I pretty much lost motivation to be academically successful. Sophomore year my parents transferred me to a much closer high school where my old friends went and my grades have been phenomenal ever since. 96 average sophomore year and 98 average junior year (I had all 100s averages except for English, Gov and Band). I have always loaded my schedule with the most rigorous courses like AP, Dual Credit and IB. Do you think that because of my freshman year, my chances of getting into an Ivy League school is ruined? My friends keep telling me not to worry because my SAT score and AP test scores are great, but I would like to know your input.

[@JoshBeasley]

You should be fine! I would definitely recommend mentioning that tough experience somewhere in your application though. The admissions officers like to see that you've overcome challenges.

[@xaedas8945]

Some schools like Stanford only look at sophomore and junior year grades so try applying for those ones too

[@remmborn8154]

Josh Beasley awsomee

[@panthergaming392]

I have a similar issue with my middle school grades on my high school transcript. I worked really hard and I’ve brought my unweighted gpa to a 3.75. Considering that I got another year and a half of high school, could I possibly get into an Ivy League?

[@izzyjean8097]

Ethan C I have this same issue! I'm thinking about summer school to try and boost my gpa up or something. I'm taking a lot of honors next year, aiming for A's and a lot of ap senior year and aiming for A's.

[@amanday3103]

At my school we don't have weighted GPA, so it works the other way. People avoid AP classes because they bring your GPA down. A lot of the people who want to be valedictorian take the minimum amount of AP classes you need to be valedictorian (one) and then just take regular classes. Honors classes don't really exist, you just do the regular class and then have some extra assignments.

[@alejandrocastro4495]

I’m pretty sure colleges will re-calculate grades based on their scales so AP classes would help.

[@patrickbateman2225]

He was apart of that whole Yale thing

[@meaghanwingertsoderberg4105]

I have a question, how does the international student admissions work? For example - my school has AP classes and everything but those are only available to Grade 10’s+, and we don’t use a GPA or SAT’s. Can I still get in?

[@zackrandhawa9734]

They only expect you to take advantage of the highest level classes that your school offers, so just make sure you're taking as many high level classes as you can handle. As for GPA, I'm pretty sure they take whatever sort of information your school offers, so if your school doesn't do GPA they'll just look at your transcript (I believe that's how it works but I'm not 100% sure). You will need to take and submit either the SAT or ACT. You can go to the college board website and find sat testing centres near you. I never took the ACT but I'm sure you can check online as well to see if it's offered near where you live. Good luck!

Can you make a dorm room tour or a college home essentials video?

[@JoshBeasley]

Cool! I can definitely make a dorm tour video!

[@catschneider8237]

I want to get into upenn, but the GPA part is a struggle. I have had B's in math from 7th through 10th grade (in 11th now) and its severely dropped my GPA (4.0 end of sophomore year). I got the subjects, I just do poorly on math tests. Idk, Upenn has a great reaserch/science coarse and art program but I'm considering applying to rit instead. Is it worth it to still apply?

[@karinakhaledi7589]

Love this serious very helpful can you also talk more in depth about your studying habbits because Yale university has been my dream school for as long as I can imagine and i have some additional question about your process so may I have your email to ask some questions thanks you P.s. You should do a q&a!!

[@sonder2035]

Hey Josh, I found that Yale's average GPA is 4.19, and I'm wondering which GPA scale is this based on? At my school, my weighted GPA is 4.83, but my unweighted GPA is 3.92.

[@rxsesforyuki5342]

I'm pretty sure that its weighted since unwieghted can only go up to 4.0 and thats the scale colleges use.

[@thelamawesom1115]

Hey jw but i go to a prep school where u can only take 8 classes max. I take chinese(no honors or Ap offered) and orchestra and AP scinece take up two class blocks. Overall i can only take about 6 Ap courses in HS idk what i can do. Also, im a sophmore and the only way i fould take an AP now would be if i was way ahead in math or programming

[@JoshBeasley]

All you have to worry about is challenging yourself with all that your school offers. Everyone comes from a different background and colleges understand that :)

[@thelamawesom1115]

Josh Beasley really appreciate your response. Goodluck at yale a teammate from my school is going there

[@Shopprincesscheer]

I love science and completed my sophomore year with a 97.3% in chem hn. I’m taking ap physics this year, and I received a 0/4 on my first summative assignment. I’ve never received a score below fifty, especially not in a science class. I feel incredibly discouraged, but I want to stick with the class because I love science. Why did I perform so poorly on my first actual physics assignment when I was the top student in chem last year?

[@npi8612]

Hey Josh! So, my high - school doesn’t offer AP or Honors classes. My average is 87%. My high - school is private, so it’s WAY more strict than a normal public high - school. Do u think I have a to get to Yale?

[@AryaN-es9oe]

Hello. I am just a freshman. I am in all the possible honors classes right now, but for some reason my school doesn't offer Honors social studies. This lowers my unweighted GPA. Do colleges look at the possible classes in each school or just look at your GPA? I am in one of the best public schools in Massachusetts and maintaining about a 4.17-4.20 GPA but I can't take any AP classes because I am a freshman. Do they consider the difficulty of the school during the application process? I would appreciate a response. Nice video.

[@djcarver6330]

Go to school. Behave. Take notes. Study. Go above and beyond.

[@brianszipszky1695]

Hello! I know this video is a bit old, but I just have a quick question. Will it hurt my admission chances if my school's GPA Scale (AP A+ = 4.62, A=4.3, A- = 3.9775; Honors A+ = 4.515, A = 4.2, A- = 3.885; Normal A+ = 4.3, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7) is proportionately less rewarding than the standard 5.0 weighted scale? I am a sophomore in HS, and I have a 4.32 for the semester with my school's scale, and with the 5.0 scale, I have a 4.36 (no APs offered yet). I know there is not much disparity now, but I fear the difference will increase when I start taking APs. Great content btw.

[@ruthemory2065]

My school doesn’t offer AP or honors (small school) would taking duel enrollment help?

[@meaganpearson1852]

[@angiem7725]

Did you mean 3.5 at 1:52?

[@marisolrusso4931]

My high school's range of honors classes is often limited based on demand because it's a very small school. If I couldn't have honors one year even though I had it before, how do I let them know it was beyond my control even though I really wanted that course? And can you really explain one bad grade (sophomore year)?

[@carazy123_]

That intro song is clean 👌🏻

[@stevenstamkos8099]

One more thing, does freshman year REALLY matter? Or are sophomore and junior year just really important

[@JoshBeasley]

As long as you didn't bomb freshman year you should be fine. But even if you did, that could be an essay topic. :)

[@stevenstamkos8099]

Josh Beasley thanks so like I had around 96 average freshman year overall is that good enough to get in almost ivy-league level school? Like if I maintain that 96 throughout my high school career?

[@leeanna1092]

I got into Yale this year and will be attending in the fall. My school is similar in terms of limited AP and Honor courses. I believe the Yale admissions officer told me that the courses you take are cross-referenced with the classes offered at your school. As long as you show that you are willing to challenge yourself and take the more rigorous courses (available to you), then you will be a good candidate. Hope that helped!

[@brianll389]

Great videos Josh, I am an international student and unfortunately I cant take AP classes, instead i have to take 13 different classes throughout the week and I got that 10.0 GPA my freshman year ( from 4.0-10.0). If I maintain that GPA in the next years can I stand out at the admission office as an average or above average student? (talking only about the 'GPA' part of the application).

[@JoshBeasley]

If you maintain a perfect 10.0 you will definitely stand out. Just make sure you continue taking the hardest courses offered and challenging yourself!

[@seldie9569]

Hey Josh! On a 4.0 scale, my GPA is roughly around a 3.4 with a somewhat rigorous curriculum where I took 2 APs sophomore year and 3 APs junior year.

[@aidancort5307]

I'm a sophomore in high school, and my grades are usually 90's. Would it be better for me to be in lots of extracurriculars and have a pretty good average (overall 91% ish) or do very few extracurriculars and have a 96% or 97% GPA. I'm currently in XC, Indoor Track, Outdoor Track, Class President, Student Council President, Treasurer of our Athletic Leadership Program, Big Brother Big Sister, lots of volunteer work, I am on a board where members are selected by teachers in which we decide were money goes in the school, and French Honor Society, however my average last year was 90.2%. I also take some accelerated/ honors courses. Should I drop extracurricular activity and bring my GPA up to a 95%/96% or remain with a 90 - 92 average and stay in lots of extracurricular activities? Which would look better?

What if your GPA is somewhat lacking (low 3), however, are able to significantly improve for the final two years? I'm going into senior year and it's physically impossible to go from my 3 to a 4.0 since I'm canadian and even my teachers told me that GPA doesn't matter, low and behold I want to apply to the elites and now I"m slightly fucked.....

I don’t necessarily aim to go to an Ivy League school, however I try to boost my GPA just to improve my chances into getting into the colleges I want. I too am taking loads of classes that I don’t necessarily care for, but I am fortunate to go to a large high school in a university town with a plethora of college credit classes and AP courses.

What is website for apply Yale university？

[@norman4908]

Why does my school (5 point scale) say AP 5 and Pre AP 4.5 yet I have 4-5 preap(all a) and 2 ap(1b 1a) and my GPA is still a 4.2?

My dream college

[@noorhan8746]

Hey, so I have a question. I did kind of bad my freshman year and now I’m going to be a sophomore next year. I’m going to try really hard to get my gpa to be good. Will it matter? Like will it ruin my chances of getting into colleges.. especially that I want to go to Yale.

[@impacttoydrive1637]

I’m currently a sophomore and I finished freshmen year with straight As and a rigor 4.8 gpa (I took AP) I finished sophomore semester 1 with 2/3 Bs (it’s not final yet) and my gpa is a 4.33 weighted. If I get all As next semester and so forth, can I still be applicable for Ivy League schools with a few Bs?

[@immrpadz1]

I’m a freshman. Should I start taking AP classes in Junior year? Or should i start with AP classes in Sophomore?

[@stovhaxplays1513]

early as possible, definitely my biggest regret. depending on which highschool you go to they'll let you go take as much APs as you want and you can drop the ones that are too hard first semester and it won't show that you dropped them. Talk to your counselor about this.

[@denisserocco9768]

Hey josh, if I have a weighted gpa of 4.4 and sat score of around 1500, do I stand a chance? I'm in 2 honor societies which isn't much but I did a lot in those few.
