<p>I just put what I could think of off the top of my head. If I should put anything else, let me know. Most importantly, let me know what you think of my chances.</p>

<p>You could get in. Just like anyone else though, your chances are low. I wouldn’t say your not competitive. I guess the most important thing is make yourself stand out.</p>

3

<p>Agree with tigerton, maybe.</p>

4

<p>ur gpa is good. ur sat score could pull u down if they’re just 2000ish…</p>

5

<p>Yes, you have a chance, although your scores are on the low side (a 32 ACT converts to roughly a 2130 SAT) and you have nothing particularly outstanding in terms of extracurriculars (except maybe band/music). It would ultimately come down to your essays and recommendation letters, and how clearly you convey your passions through the former.</p>

6

<p>You don’t have to submit SAT and SAT 2 scores. So just submit the ACT.</p>

7

<p>^too late.</p>

8

<p>I think your chances are just fine, not on the “low side” at all.
GPA excellent, though ACT relatively low but not unreasonable. Lot’s of CC credit, many EC’s.</p>

<p>I think CC warps users’ perception of the “average” Yale applicant. It’s not like everyone who applies to Yale is a 2100+ 3.9+ student. There are kids from my school with 3.3’s and 1900’s who are applying “just for the hell of it” on the tiny off-chance that they get in. OP: I do not think you will get in, but I think you have a better chance than the average applicant. Good luck.</p>
