<p>you should go to the What Are my Chances board. I don't really know what your chances are sorry. I've got similar stats, though, so you can check out my thread on WAMC.</p>

<p>Thanks. Any other ideas?</p>

<p>Your scores and GPA seem fairly low. Do you have leadership positions in and/or devote a lot of time to your extracurricular activities? You should mention that; commitment to ECs would help you, if you have any. However, that you are a African American is a definite advantage.</p>

<p>I spend alot of time doing karate and i attend nationals each year. i attached a resume that showed all the tournaments i have won and also my dreams to join the usa olympic team in 2008</p>

<p>That's really good. I missed the "national competitor" in your ec list the first time I read it... that would change things!</p>

<p>Would that make my chances better or should I still consider Yale a high reach?</p>
