<p>just to warn you, from what i've noticed, people on the Yale forum don't seem to be friendly towards "chances" threads. you could say that waiting for ea results have made people a bit jaded or whatnot...</p>

<p>however, i think you stand just as much of a chance as anyone else on the forum. your scores are decent, and you have a bit of everything, which i guess could be either a good or a bad thing, depending on how you portray yourself in your application. </p>

<p>so good luck with your application and don't worry about what other people are doing. we're all just applicants anyway.</p>

<p>Well, the whole "chances" thing is something of an annoying vice which doesn't really help anyone. It's understandable, but just do your best and stop worrying. Whatever we say or think won't change a thing..</p>

<p>There's not much I can say that you don't already know...</p>

<p>Your grades and scores are good and you have a good number of AP's, though you could've used a 5 to show that you can really master a subject.</p>

<p>Your EC's are good and I'm sure they will like the emphasis on community service.</p>

<p>Your experience in the film industry is impressive and can certainly make for great essays.</p>

<p>Good luck, etc..</p>

<p>In the end, the decision is a bit more arbitrary than you would think, given that they want to create a 'diverse class' and what not.</p>

<p>Hopefully we will see you around come fall, but if we don't you'll certainly end up at a good place.</p>
