Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm choosing between single choice early action Yale and Stanford. I want to go into the humanities. </p>

<p>Which school do I have a better chance at? Does anyone know where I can find the early action statistics for Stanford? I've heard stanford is weird about it's criterion for accepting ppl (ie i know someone who got into HYP but not stanford) is this true?</p>

<p>here are some of my stats:
GPA 4.7/5.0
Class Rank 1/337
SAT 2250
ACT 34
SAT IIs:Math IIC 800, Chinese 800, Lit 780, Chem 750
APs: Chem 5, US GOVT 4, Comparative govt 5, microeconomics 5</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars
Student Government
Science Honor Society Vice president
Math Honor Society Secretary
Youth Org of Chinese American VP
NHS</p>

<p>I've done some sports throughout the years. dallied in a few things. </p>

<p>during the summer i've done governors school and Carnegie mellon pre-college</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>Not necessarily. Each school makes decisions that some would deem "weird".</p>

<p>you don't really standout. But you could still get in. After all, not everyone who goes to stanford/yale has done stuff like ICHO, AIME or ISEF. good luck :)</p>

<p>Odds are you'll be deferred/rejected by both. Yale's early pool is going to be disgustingly competitive.</p>

<p>Well! like I LOVE stanford...i still hope I get in...tears :(</p>
