<p>Have taken 6 APs so far, will have taken 12 by the time I graduate. Have scored 4s and 5s on all taken. I'm currently on the bubble for my state's National Merit Scholarship qualifiers, as I have a 212 (ohio). Thanks for your help, and I will help back.</p>
<p>competitive GPA, competitive SAT… ECs are okay. apply if its your first choice because excellent recs and essays can give you the boost you need.</p>
<p>You are certainly sufficiently qualified, if a bit generic. Your GPA and ACT are solid, and your extracurriculars are very good. You don’t have anything that makes you stand out, but I still think you have a pretty good chance. Consider it a low reach (Yale is pretty much a reach for anybody).</p>
<p>You’re definitely qualified, but who isn’t? I’d say that you’re a match. I agree with lowGPAhighACT, you do sound a little bit generic. Try to make your essay seem a little more personal/individual? And apply ED if you know you want to go there. </p>
<p>Chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1542440-chance-me-oberlin-pomona-will-chance-back.html#post16285354[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1542440-chance-me-oberlin-pomona-will-chance-back.html#post16285354</a></p>
<p>You’re qualified but honestly your ECs are nothing amazing. Hard to discount the Essays / Recs because I suspect in your case they will be extremelely important.</p>
<p>Chance back!</p>

<p>Bump D: sorry y’all.</p>
<p>My nephew applied to Yale. He had an 800 on two SAT 11’s, a 36 on his ACT, and was # 2 in his class. He also had amazing EC’s and was rejected. It is very hard to predict who gets into these schools.</p>
<p>I would also say you’re a match, but then again, there are students that have 4.0’s and 2250+ that are applying as well. You’re EC’s are OK, and creating that club is really good. It’s going to be pretty random, but I’d say you’re competitive.
Chance me back?

<p>As long as you write a stellar essay and procure glowing teacher recs, you’ll be just as competitive an applicant as anyone. 
Good luck!</p>

<p>Well your definitely qualified. Your ACT and GPA are great but your EC’s are a bit generic. I would recommend writing a good personal essay that shows who you are. I would say Low Reach. Chance Back?</p>
