<p>as a side note, my school is somewhat of a feeder for the Ivies, and we have about 10+ other people also applying early to Yale this year (yeah, i know =). </p>

<p>their stats are around mine, give or take a few hundreths in the GPA--the one silver lining is that most of the other applicants are science-y/have research-oriented hooks, and as you've probably guessed, i'm aiming for a debater/international affairs hook. i don't know whether that will be enough though =&lt;/p>

<p>Please help a guy out and tell me what you think! thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>I think you have a very strong chance : )</p>

5

<p>You are a very strong applicant. However, Yale is a reach for ANYONE. If you are interested in Yale, you should also apply to some similar schools that are slightly less selective (e.g. Georgetown, UVA)</p>
