Can you help me out?

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hi, I’m a senior in high school this next year and was wondering about my chances at my two main reach schools. I have others, but was curious about these two after reading some posts on this site. Thanks!

Schools: Yale and Vanderbilt

SAT:1460 (770 cr/w, 690 m)

ACT: 32 (don’t remember breakdown, but I know I got a 29 on math)

PSAT:1410

AP: I’ve taken Lit, US History, and calc about, but could only afford to take the lit and history tests. Got 5s on both practice exams

GPA: 3.95 (school does not weight, and I have all As and one C overall)

Rank: 1/120

Senior classes: AP physics, AP Language, AP Government, business, Spanish 3 and I’m trying to find math class at a local college

I’ve taken two college math courses (my sophomore year)

ECs: I’ve played piano at my church for over 4 years
I came first in state at class A public forum debate last year (my first year)
I was on the school newspaper last year
Student government for the last two years and next year (10th grade representative, 11th treasurer)
I’m very involved in my church in planning events and teaching Sunday school
I’m planning on doing a larger community service project this summer, as well as counseling at a bible camp.

I worked at an orchard for many years aND a restaurant for the last year

I live in an extremely rural small town (less than 4000 residents) and my family income is less than 25000.

I will be applying for financial aid, and hope to major in psychology.

I’m also a questbridge college prep scholar

If there is any other information that would help, just let me know. Thank you so much!

I should also mention that my AP classes that I’ve taken/will take are all that are offered at my school

very good chance for public and state universities, but a slightly lower chance for the big ivy league schools (still a chance!), and have a very high chance of good financial aid packages and scholarships.

Psychology isn’t a bad major, but it’s one that is hard to be employed in (not trying to discourage you!)

FYI: AP Lang is super easy if you enjoy writing! AP Physics is dependent on whether its algebra-based or calculus-based (I took the algebra-based and it was fun and easy, to me). For AP Government, is it US or Comparative, or both (Comparative is way harder than US).
