<p>Ok I am sort of a dark horse candidate I believe and I am just groping in the dark for some idea of my chances, from someone who knows. </p>

<p>I have a 4.0 but I'm only in the top twenty percent of my class, partially because I transferred from a cathlic prep school to a public school.</p>

<p>I took six AP classes my junior year </p>

<p>I have SAT scores </p>

<p>VERBAL 790 </p>

<p>MATH 700 </p>

<p>WRITING 780 </p>

<p>I placed in the top ten at the DECA international competition in marketing and management </p>

<p>I am an Eagle Scout and have been a leader in my troop for seven years. </p>

<p>I have fenced for four years, taught myself guitar and piano, and play open mics often. </p>

<p>I have worked at the same job all of highschool, during the week. </p>

<p>I played varsity soccer for two years, but I got injured and I had to quit. </p>

<p>I have over 300 service hours. </p>

<p>I am part of NHS. </p>

<p>I speak spanish fluently. </p>

<p>I am graduating early so I can go work for the red cross as a volunteer.</p>

<p>I hope to major in Philosophy and go on to law school so I can become a crminal prosecutor for the hague.</p>

<p>I’m a junior at Yale, and I’ve heard that only 25% of the kids who are actually good enough to come here actually get in, just due to space. That said, your odds are 25%.</p>

<p>I doubt you’ll end up majoring in Philosophy or going to law school.</p>

<p>You’llchange your mind. No one knows for certain what they want to do. I know you seem to think you do, but I think your interests are going to change.</p>
