<p>Thinking you will get 2200 is different to actually getting it. Either way, it doesn’t really matter. There’s no way we can say whether you have a decent shot or not because the chances of any one person getting in. You sound like a good applicant, if you work hard, get good scores, good essays and recommendations then you might get in.</p>

<p>If you don’t have US citizenship then you are an international student. In which case your chances are even lower than they would be otherwise. There were almost 26000 applicants this year. There was a 7.5% acceptance rate. And something like 10% of those are international. You’re smart enough to do the math there.</p>

<p>Just one thing? It’s not a matter of being “good enough.” No matter the outcome of this, you will be okay. Getting into, or rejected by, Yale or any other college, is not a reflection on you.</p>
