<p>If you don't get in, I'll loss all remnants of my faith in the system.</p>

<p>Is this a joke?</p>

<p>No, you seem sincere, but if I wanted to write a satiric "will I get in" post, it would look like this. Your stats really couldn't be any better... at first I thought if your essays were weak or if your app was outstandingly dull you might not get in, but since you're a quadruple legacy I don't think even that would keep you out.</p>

<p>...agree with serendipity.</p>

<p>AP Chem 4 !? Totally unacceptable
Recs are only very good? Yale only accepts excellent
Also, Legacy only counts if your family dates back to the originating class in the 1700's</p>

<p>I don't know... you just might get waitlisted.....</p>
