<p>I like the Chess and squash mixed with USAMO and siemens. I think you’re good. Go for it if Yale is what you really want!

<p>mathemonster - You are gonna be a Yalie very soon. Awesome profile.</p>

<p>BTW what’s your ELO ratings?</p>

4

<p>I don’t see any olympic medals for squash…</p>

<p>Seriously, do you really need the ego boost?</p>

5

<p>Everything’s solid. You have a good chance.</p>

6

<p>Have fun at Yale.</p>

7

<p>it really seems like you don’t have that extra “x factor” to push you over the edge. Plus you are asian.</p>

<p>Good shot IMO. GPA is a bit weak (if its weighted). Otherwise, application is pretty flawless. Only problem is most people applying to Yale have similar credentials so it comes down to the essays. good luck

<p>yea I am a bit worried my GPA is a bit low, but maybe this is just how my school does it— I only have 1 A- in all of high school the rest are A’s.</p>

10

<p>@hareeeshna its around 1900
@cubs squash isn’t an olympic sport ;P</p>

11

<p>What??? You have 1900 ratings and you are among the top 100 US players. In my country, if you have even 2000, you have no chances in top 10000.</p>

12

<p>^its because India goes by FIDE ratings this is uscf</p>

13

<p>Okkkkkk…</p>

14

<p>You have the goods for Yale, now the question is whether Yale will have a spot for you, an overrepresented Asian. Hopefully they will! You’ve done everything possible, so apply, and good luck!</p>

<p>Wow… congratz. I see big packages for you in december and april.</p>

16

<p>Superb stats. A bit too focused on math though, so make sure to make it a passionate subject in your essays.</p>
