<p>I am pondering whether I should apply EA to Yale. I have always admired the school and felt that it would suit my needs and preferences...but I was reluctant to apply or put too much interest in the school because I was unconfident about my possibility of acceptance. I think, however, that it would be worse to not apply than to be rejected...</p>
<p>I would appreciate ANY comments, as my guidance counselor has yet to meet with me and evaluate my chances. THANK YOU in advance...</p>

**Entered HS w/ credits based on accelerated middle school program.
