<p>You look good, but it really falls down on your essays/rest of your application.</p>

<p>Though I must ask, why the hell aren’t you submitting your ACTs?</p>

<p>Great stats and Nebraska–great shot.</p>

<p>Lol sorry one other thing. What would you say my odds are for Yale scea. The reason I am concerned specifically with this school is that I get my admissions decision from them first and if I do get accepted there, it would not only give me a confidence boost but also allow me to limit the number of apps I submit = D.</p>

<p>even if you don’t get into Yale SCEA (which I think you will), don’t loose confidence because you have a great app. with the things you did, you had a lot of opportunity to write great essays too. so I would recommend to try and lower the worrying, you’ll be fine. :)</p>

<p>chance me?
