<p>WOW… 2 generations of legacy at Yale o<em>o
Your SAT, SATII, and GPA are all good, and you have good EC, I’d say you have a pretty good chance… Your school also sends tons of grads to top universities, so just having your school on your app will help you. (not to mention 2 generations of legacy at Yale… o</em>o) I agree with metalfox, I think you’ll do fine.
Good Luck!!</p>

<p>Might look at Holy Cross and Cogate both very strong academics and athletics. Holy Cross is also need blind-meets 100% of demonstrated financial need.</p>
<p>i think you have a good chance at all of them… your SATs are awesome! sheesh peoples stats make me feel terrible Good luck!!</p>
<p>chance back?</p>
<p>@par72: Financial aid is not an issue - my family is wealthy. Also, I would feel kind of cheated if I had to end up going to Holy Cross, because I feel I can do better - sorry if I sound elitist.</p>
<p>@ebakos: As I painfully learned through the ED process (deferred from Williams) GPA matters about 1 million times more than SAT scores. Don’t feel bad.</p>
<p>Ebakos: I would chance you but I can’t find your thread… can you link it or something?</p>
<p>According to Princeton Review, at Holy Cross “Students in Top Tenth of HS Class: 66%”
25% of the 2800 student body are varsity athletes which is why it is not even higher.</p>
