<p>Lots of community service, 400+, sports :track & tennis.</p>
<p>I'll apply RD, could u guys comment on my chances?</p>
<p>RD is definitely the way to go, this way you can prove that your academics are still strong with your senior year grades (but they'll understand about your moving.) Your SAT I is a little low, but the SAT II's more than make up for it.<br>
Lot's of schools require community service, so that is not as impressive as it should be (I think thats awesome, but I'm not a Yale admissions officer.)<br>
I hope that you're really strong in your sports or have some other kind of hook. Realistically, nothing seems to stand out that would make Yale jump for your app, but if you write really strong essays and have great recs, you could be one of those "well-rounded" admits.</p>
<p>RD is much harder than EA at Yale. Fully half the class comes from the EA pool, either directly or from EA deferreds in the regular round.</p>
<p>Yeah, but think about how much stronger the applicant pool to Yale EA is. I know that sounds like something Yale writes on their admissions FAQs, but it's true.</p>
<p>But remember... kids rejected EA/ED from other ivies apply RD yale, so it ain't a piece o' cake either way...</p>
