<p>I currently take all post-secondary coursework except for band, which I take at my high school.</p>

<p>I hope your not set on yale because you have no chance. I would start sending out other applications now. I suggest penn state and possibly wisconsin. To start... Eagle Scouts? really? come on. And band? You are way to spread out. You must have 30 hours in a day or be a liar, and i am banking on liar. Good luck with your year off before reapplying to more appropriate schools.</p>

<p>I think you definitely have a good chance. Your test scores and ranking are kickass, and becoming an Eagle Scout is really prestigious. You've held down a job, volunteered, showed a lot of dedication, etc...aside from maybe a slight lack of like state/national stuff, you've got pretty nice stuff here. Good luck :]</p>
