<p>Your scores are very very good! But what is your passion/focus? Is it fundraising/business? I think once you make that clarification…you will do great (And by great I mean you’ll have as good of a chance as one can get, because with colleges like Yale…you really can never tell.) Focus on your essays!</p>

<p>PLUS what do you have to lose? Well other than 70 bucks and possible lose of sleep due to anxiety. I say have some courage and apply!</p>
