<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I am applying to the Yale Class of 2015. The only reason why I'm posting this here is because College Confidential has yet to create a section for Yale 2015. That being said, I would like for everyone to assess my chances of admission to Yale College in the Anthropology and or History of Art Department(s) at the College. In addition, I have been in contact with their rowing team for a little over a year now. I have expressed overwhelming interest in being a coxswain for their team. I have six years of coxing experience on a nationally ranked team. Their coach has said "...you can feel free to join our team at anytime..." dose that mean they're willing to work with admissions in my case. I was told they simply submit the names of the people they want on their team and those students are admitted on lower standards. Is there any connections between athletics and admission to such universities? But I digress, the resume is enclosed below, please take a look and tell me my chances with rowing in mind. </p>

<p>Any Special Adversity?</p>
<p>Yes, I am a gay student to a incredibly religious household, my mother reminds me of my poor "lifestyle choice" on a daily basis. For a time I was not welcome at home (i.e. kicked out) because of this "choice". However, I still maintained my rigor in school and maintained high grades. Admittedly however, I did get 2 Cs on my transcript but I have retaken the class via FLVS to remedy the matter. Will the college understand? </p>
