You probably know what people here are going to say: your chances are better than average, but it is Yale SCEA, so no guarantees. Kids with higher stats and first degree legacy (parents) are deferred every year, so hope for the best and keep working on those RD apps.

gee, what low stats… jk congrats to you! you must have worked very hard, clearly you have great chances wherever you apply. Good luck!
