<p>Its hard to predict your chances at such a competitive school like Yale, but you would be a good applicant</p>

3

<p>I think you have a really great shot! glad you’re not in my year ;)</p>

4

<p>To me it seems like you’re a good applicant and you might get in, but nothing about you really stands out, to be honest. What are your main interests? What do you plan to major in?</p>

5

<p>my main interests/time in HS has been spent doin stuff with kids like with boys and girls club, church group thing, and my job. I kinda wanna major in political science or maybe business if i go somewhere with a business school, but my school doesn’t have any model UN, FBLA, DECA, or any of that stuff so it was kinda hard to display that. thanks for the feedback though</p>

6

<p>Anybody else? I really have no idea if I have a chance at any of these rd schools</p>

<li><p>You’ve already applied, it’s a done deal, nothing said here makes a lick of difference.</p></li>
<li><p>You’re 3 for 3 for people saying you’re a good candidate. </p></li>
<li><p>I assume you’ve looked at previous Results threads and can see that your stats are in the ballpark (you do know you have a chance, your last post was pure hyperbole ;)).</p></li>
<li><p>From looking at those Results threads you should also have figured out that within the pool of competitive candidates, there’s no way to predict which ones will be accepted.</p></li>
<li><p>Therefore, the most anyone can tell you with any degree of accuracy is what those three posters have already said.</p></li>
<li><p>Relax, you still have over two months to go :).</p></li>
