<p>Well you have no real leadership in your ECs, and it looks like you dropped most of them after 10th grade. I say your chances are average at best</p>

3

<p>9.7% -- Seriously, you fall into the masses of great students that will apply. Your job will be to make yourself standout, probably via the essay.</p>

4

<p>You have great stats. Any school will have to seriously consider your application. However, there have been better students who have gotten rejected and worse students who have gotten in. None of us can really say what will happen but you have a good shot. Good luck.</p>

<p>yale is RANDOM!</p>

6

<p>What state? And what rankings are you going by?</p>

7

<p>I'm from NJ, and the rank for my high school is from the 2004-2005 public school ratings</p>

8

<p>You aren't a legacy, developmental admit, recruited athlete, desired URM, daughter of ambassador, senator, congressperson, or state legislator representing New Haven, you haven't written and published a novel, skated in the Olympics, or hold any patents.</p>

<p>You sound like a wonderful person, that any school should feel privileged to have, but it isn't about stats, just application numbers. Figure 1 out of 20? </p>

<p>Where do you really realistically want to go to school?</p>

9

<p>Oh cool. I'm from the number 3 school. We were originally number one until nj monthly took it away due to a calculation error. Anyway, the yale admissions process is a crapshoot. Even stellar stats like yours do not guarantee admission. Basically, it will come down to your essay.</p>

<p>well your stats r good except for your ecs which (no offense) but are sort of like mine although a little bit better. You're in the same boat as me. Present yourself well and be prepared.</p>
