<p>I applied under Early Action and decisions will be posted Monday, but of course, I'm getting antsy :)
Ethnicity: Mexican and "white" (mother is an immigrant, no college degree; father Eastern European descent); I speak English, Spanish, and "IB" amount of French
Location: Southern California
Grades: 4.0 unweighted; 4.9 weighted
Classes: With the exception of IB theatre, I have taken every single AP/IB/Honors class offered at my school and i am an IB diploma candidate (9 classes a day--IB Biology (2 period class), IB History, Speech and Debate, AP Calculus, IB French 5, IB English, IB TOK, IB Music)
Rank: 3 (but that's because speech and debate brings my weighted grade down; i'm on track to be valedictorian)
SAT's: 2130 (reasoning); 640 (physics SAT II); 650 (English and US History SAT II)
ACT's: 28 (it's bad but I"m pretty sure they take the best of the two tests)
Essay: I think i wrote pretty solid essays</p>
<p>Extra-curriculars: speech and debate on 6th best team in the nation (4 years and team captain); volunteer on election campaigns sophomore year and senior year (not because i quit junior year, but because there was no election in the city i volunteer for that year); co-founded a speech and debate team at my former junior high, and sent them to nationals; National Honor Society (3 years); Key Club (2 years); French Club (2 years); Piano (12 years); Guitar (5 years); Music Composition/Songwriting/Producing/Engineering (I sent in a CD as a supplement); Girls State delegate from my high school; </p>
<p>Awards and such: ranked 10th in the state and 1st in my county in persuasive speaking, along with various national and state rankings for speech and debate; awards like National Hispanic Scholar and AP Scholar with Honor from Collegeboard; Recognition from a Congresswoman</p>
<p>My interview went well, not sure how much that counts for.</p>
<p>Anyway, I was wondering if anybody could give me their opinion of my chances at Yale, and possibly the other schools I applied to (Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, NYU, UCLA, Berkeley, Stanford)</p>
