<p>Your numbers are a little low. It depends how how good of a musician you are, if it's an instrument that is not well represented on campus, and how your essays turn out.</p>

<p>your ECs are pretty great</p>

<p>I'm in the Yale Symphony Orchestra and it looks like you'd be a great musician to add to the ensemble. Regarding chances, I know it's addicting to get many opinions, but always take them with a grain of salt. Put a lot of time in your application, write your essays well, and keep getting great grades in high school. That's all you can do at this point. Just make sure to apply to a good range of schools.</p>

<p>(Try to) enjoy your senior year. It gets a lot more enjoyable in April when the college anxiety is relieved :)</p>

<p>would sending in a music supplement (such as dvd or cd) help?</p>

<p>If you're conservatory quality, yes. There have been threads on this on the Yale board so you might want to check those out to see the range of opinions.</p>
