<p>count on it. I would be surprised if you got rejected.</p>

<p>ISEF, Lincoln Center, 2390 SAT = Extremely good chances . . . I like your stats. I hope there aren't too many like you applying to Yale, RD or many of us would be in trouble.</p>

<p>Thanks . . . but this is Yale, right??? Possibly the most prestigious university known to our generation??? Does anybody else have other opinions???</p>

<p>You never said your ethnicity, but you look like the typical Asian applicant: great test scores, ISEF, chess club, and music. With so many fellow violion playing, 2400-scoring, national science competition semi-finalists competing for a limited numbers of slots, people falling in this mold really have to walk on water to get in. Nonetheless, I think you will stand out even in that competitive pool. Good luck! Hope you join the class of 2010!</p>

<p>Great chances....70-80%? Maybe more :D</p>

<p>Dear Moriarity, where did you apply early and did you get in or where you deferred/rejected?</p>

<p>I got deferred from princeton . . . bastards (cries in a corner)</p>
