<p>I am a URM (female) who applied SCEA to Yale. All of my materials were in on time, I have many family members who went to Yale (one who is currently in Congress) and am a National Achievement Semifinalist, still waiting to hear whether or not I am a finalist. </p>
<p>My GPA is 4.3, SAT I: 2150 and I took the Math II, Literature and French SAT IIs. I am an AP Scholar and have an extensive extracurriculars list that I don't want to bore you listing. What are my chances come December 15th?</p>
<p>More specifically than URM, I am African-American</p>
<p>You’re just so amazing that you’re probably not going to get in. Adcoms will look at your application and say, “hmm, this kid is bright, has connections, is a URM, has a decent SAT score…hmm…tough call…REJECTION!”</p>
<p>I’m sorry but that’s the only “sunny” side of the story I see.</p>
<p>pretty high GPA + URM + strong legacy. i sure hope you get in lol</p>
<p>Woah…URM + Legacy means the only real skill you need to get into Yale is the ability to fill out the app and pay the app fee.</p>
<p>can we stop giving URMs a sense of entitlement? it’s not helping the confidence of the majority of non-URMs =[</p>
<p>4.3 is a low GPA</p>
<p>
GOSH REALLY?!?! do you want a cookie?</p>
<p>Haha…not a fan of affirmative action Pigs<em>at</em>sea?</p>
<p>no, i’m just asking the OP if he/she wants a cookie</p>
<p>Yale sucks.</p>
<p>Welcome to CC!</p>
<p>To be straightforward, you have a great chance. Don’t know what the GPA is out of and that also depends on class rank, but being a minority, having a legacy, and having connections gives you a great shot. Nothing is 100% certain, but consider yourself in a good position :)</p>

<p>“I have many family members who went to Yale (one who is currently in Congress)…”</p>
<p>Not for the privileged, obviously.</p>
<p>The SAT Reasoning score is extraordinary when one takes into account the OP’s ethnicity, mediocre when one takes into account her socioeconomic background.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, Yale must maintain an acceptable proportion of students of color in each of its incoming classes, to avoid political backlash. OP is too good of an opportunity to pass up.</p>
<p>Superior academic performance makes the acceptance less subject to scrutiny.</p>
<p>Wow, that was a range of answers; thanks for the input. :)</p>
