<p>Reflection
I am probably like most Asian students they get, would have liked more leadership stuff</p>

<p>Also, I was given the Yale Book Award by some alumni if that means anything</p>

<p>You’re certainly competitive. But as you probably know, with schools like Yale it’s a bit of a crap shoot. FWIW, I know a young woman with similar stats and amazing, high-profile ECs. Deferred SCEA from Yale, ultimately rejected. But she did get into Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, U Chicago, Northwestern and a couple other elite schools. While the Yale deferment/rejection stung at the time, she’s a very happy rising sophomore at Harvard.</p>
