<p>Chances of getting into Yale are extremely slight for everyone. Your academic profile sounds okay, you have a bunch of awards so that’s good too. However your test scores are a bit low for Yale; you would be expected to score above 2200+ if you want to get in. Try and retake the SAT in November or December?</p>

<p>Also, there is something that you seem to lack. Is there an activity (art, sport…) in which you excel, beyond academic interests? Yale likes students who are both brilliant academically and in a specific activity. Is there anything you are very good at? Do you have any unusual circumstances, or an unusual background? If not, then I honestly think Yale is a stretch.</p>

<p>Actually, I think super scored the OP’s SAT scores are 2250, which is fine. If the opportunities you had were truly limited and you made the best of it, admin should know and you’ll be okay :)</p>
