<p>I have a letter of recommendation from the Dean of Music at the Yale School of Music, and both the Harvard and Brown Music Deptartments know this.</p>
<p>I would be 3rd generation at Yale.</p>

<p>he has a rec letter from the dean of music at yale and he would be the 3rd gen to attend. im pretty sure he has a great chance at yale…at the very least, it would be much, much higher than “low chance”</p>
<p>As a legacy at Yale, it’s by far your best shot other than Reed and Michigan which should be safe if you don’t need aid. If you’re truly a music prodigy, I assume your submitting an arts supplement, they may all be interested.</p>
<p>I think you will get into Yale. You might be able to get into CalTech. The rest I think you have a pretty good chance of getting into them. Also, check out some of the links below for individual’s college statistic’s:</p>
<p>i agree with everyone who say you’ll get into yale. having a letter of rec and family going there helps you A LOT. your SAT score is good too, props. i think you have a decent shot at harvard too, and your ECs are strong. ditto with caltech- three of my friends got in this year and their resumes were a lot less impressive than yours. good luck!</p>
<p>Change my mind, I think that “low chance” for Yale should be somewhere between the 50-80 % range now. I’ll blame my original misdecision for the fact that I didn’t read carefully the first time.</p>
