<p>i agree, you definetly have great chances anywhere... but yale especially is so unpredictable, i say apply ed if you really want to go there. but look at other high caliber schools, especially duke, cornell, washington st. louis, upenn, northwestern</p>

<p>Wow. Another kid that makes me feel like I was out of my league when I applied.</p>

<p>Like I said in another thread, amazing EC's, good scores, good grades = really good shot.</p>

<p>Bad Essay = Ouchies.</p>

<p>Remember, the lessons of your life and your personality help in the essay. That's the only thing you need to worry about. Write an essay as you, not you as the overachiever, and you'll get in and I'll see you on campus in a year :)</p>
