<p>You will have a great application, unfortunately the competition is brutally difficult. You will have a good chance of admission definitely better than the posted acceptance rate of around 7% (I am thinking this year’s rate will be somewhere close to 6-7%) I personally would never say any non legacy or non URM has better than a 50% chance so you fit somewhere in between in my mind. Yale admissions, along with all other HYPS admissions, are incredibly difficult to predict.</p>

<p>No one can ever really say (and I usually don’t comment on these chance threads), but I just wanted to say kudos to you for those accomplishments with a sub 20,000 income. Congrats whether you get into Yale or not.</p>

<p>You may want to ask your advisors for a few of your activities if it’s okay for you to right “Captain or President” under your applications if you’ve had a large impact or done a lot of work for that club. Competition for Yale is extremely competitive, so you need to make yourself stand out as much as possible.</p>

<p>Very impressive application overall. You’ll make some great schools.</p>
