Hi Mr. Army Infantry Officer, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Thank you for your service. Sounds like you’ve had some strong leadership with your element domestically and abroad. And that with your top performance reviews that you will secure some solid recommendations – these will both work in your favor. Your GPA gives me a bit of concern – so if there is a story behind it then you should tell it. If you look across the years, is there an upward trajectory?

Hi Mr. Army Infantry Officer, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. Thank you for your service. Sounds like you’ve had some strong leadership with your element domestically and abroad. And that with your top performance reviews that you will secure some solid recommendations – these will both work in your favor. Your GPA gives me a bit of concern – so if there is a story behind it then you should tell it. If you look across the years, is there an upward trajectory? Having an engineering degree will put it in a slightly different light but it is still quite a bit below Yale’s 3.66. The better news is that your 730 shows you clearly have the academic aptitude to handle the course load. The other place I’d suggest you dig deeper into is why IB and PE? Help admissions understand why this is the right path for you. While I like your chances at Yale, I never like to see a 1 school list. There are a number of other schools that could help you get to banking – maybe consider NYU, Columbia (just down the train from New Haven!) Reach out if I can answer any questions. Good luck!
