<p>hey guys, first time i write here - be nice!</p>

<p>I wanted to ask you about my chances, so here goes...
sat/sat 2/toefl scores:
CR - 600
Math - 750
Writing - 610
Math 1 - 740
Math 2 - 780
Physics - 640 (I know it's not that high....)
toefl - 112 (out of 120)</p>

<p>as for school - I graduated in 2006, because I livei n Israel I had to enlist to the army for 2 years (finished my service 2 monthes ago tyvm...), my school does not have GPA's, but my average is around 91% while taking the Israeli version for AP classes in math, computers (programming), and english (mostly grammer).
Um... I got great recommendations from my english and physics teachers, and also from my homeroom teacher and class coordinator. I was also in the top 5% in Israel for my graduating class (got a letter from the Israeli minister of education to prove it).
As for ExtraCurricular:
I took summer courses in Tel Aviv University when I was 16 (3 courses - political thought, international relationships and SPSS), spent 4 years in the school chior (sorry if I spelled that wrong!!), took part of the 9th grade advanced math program (open for 9th grade only), and my school's physics mentors for the 11th grade (bunch of kids mentoring 9th graders while making physics a lot more fun).
During my army service I volunteered at children's centers and a boarding school for problematic teenagers.</p>

<p>I had my interview 2 monthes ago and I had a good feeling afterwards because some things my interviewer said, help me decipher them please?
At first he asked me if anybody else contacted me from Yale because he was told to "notice me" and that I "caught some attention", afterwards he mentioned my essays (??) and asked me about it's subject (my 2nd essay, which I wrote purely in the spur of the moment about my love of writing and exciting things), and said a couple of times during the interview that he really likes me (yay.... a whole lot better experience from my MIT interview!!).</p>

<p>Well, sorry for blabbing, do you think I even have a shot??
thanks anyway!!!!</p>

<p>From the "What does Yale look for?" page on the Yale College site.</p>

<p>Note: Yale University is committed to basing judgments concerning the admission, education, and employment of individuals upon their qualifications and abilities and affirmatively seeks to attract to its faculty, staff, and student body qualified persons of diverse backgrounds. In accordance with this policy and as delineated by federal and Connecticut law, Yale does not discriminate in admissions, educational programs, or employment against any individual on account of that individual's sex, race, color, religion, age, disability, status as a special disabled veteran, veteran of the Vietnam era, or other covered veteran, or national or ethnic origin; nor does Yale discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.</p>

<p>I'm not sure where you fit into all of that (because you're not a veteran of 'Nam, and I'm not sure if 'covered' Veteran applies only to Americans who served in the American military).</p>

<p>But there it is.</p>
