<p>As a hispanic male with high test scores and gpa, and solid ec's, you look great. As long as your course load was demanding and your recs and essays are excellent, you have a good shot at Yale. As always, nothing is for certain, but you definitely will be among the top URM applicants. Check out this table on the SAT's to see where you fall:

Good luck!</p>

<p>Buena suerte!
As a general rule, I steer away from chances threads, but I want to encourage you to do your besy on your application. As entomom noted, you have high scores and good ec's - now you have to present yourself well in your essays.

<p>I've known several Hispanic students I believe almost surely who had stats less impressive than yours and they were admitted. Por eso creo que usted va a recibir un sobre gordo de Yale. Buena suerte.</p>
