<p>Um, I’m pretty sure our region, Cali-Nev-Ha/Region 3, is the largest multi-state region in the world.</p>

3

<p>why do you even ask for chances
you are a great applicant and know it
you know you’ll prob get in</p>

4

<p>@James Chang: Actually, Pacific Northwest is the largest by geography, which is why administration is slightly difficult (Although our Lt. Governors were/are AWESOME!!!). I had this conversation with J.Y. last year.
@rocket6louise: I’ve seen better applicants get rejected… :(</p>

5

<p>^you’ll still get into a first rate college. So why worry about yale?</p>

6

<p>@rocket6louise: I understand that there are many “first-rate” colleges in the US, but I want to be accepted at Yale for its vast range of opportunities, including its Master’s Tea, Study Abroad Fellowships, S.T.A.R., Residential Houses(!!!), and research under faculty.</p>

<p>… and not to mention that I am an avid reader of Yale Daily News.</p>

7

I’m applying to yale, but my first choice is smith. I really don’t get the ivy hype(i’m just curious if i could get in)

<p>Wow, your statistics are exceptional! Obviously we can’t confirm that you’ll be accepted due to Yale’s unpredictability, but you are definitely competitive. Best of luck!</p>
