<p>I dont' see how you can do Boston ED as well as Yale EA. But whatever.</p>

<p>To be frank, I have no idea what your chance are. My first instinct was that they were low, because of your low SATs. But then I remembered that SATs were not everything. Your ECs are varied and show commitment. Your class rank and curriculum is above average.</p>

<p>Your chances are definitely above average. I hope you get in.</p>

3

<p>you CANNOT apply early to Yale and ANOTHER school.</p>

4

<p>yea, colleges cross reference, if you apply early to more than one you are automatically rejected. The list of "slippers" (such as your situation) is shared amongst a large number of colleges, so other schools can see who applied early to more than one school and make that a factor in their admissions decisions.
be careful</p>

<p>oh, man. if only your standardized test scores were a little higher. your extracurriculars are impressive.. especially the internships. you definitely have a great change at boston. but isn't this thread in the wrong forum?</p>

6

<p>Do you go to the Albuquerque Academy?</p>

7

<p>No I go to Sandia.</p>
