chances at yale</p>
<p>notice, it's the "likely to get ins" that ask people about their chances. It's as if they're making fun of us regular people. The fact that she's african american and a female increases her chances significantly beyond belief. Her ECs are pretty amazing.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but she has no significant hook other than the color of her skin. </p>
<p>Is she disadvantaged in any other way? If she isn't, then she better do something MAJOR within the next sixth months. Founding a club would be good. Also, where's the community service? </p>
<p>PS, let this thread die and resurrect it when we seniors get our decisions. By then it'll be painfully obvious what your sister's chances are.</p>
<p>hahhahahahaha</p>
