<p>Hopefully great recs and essays, but that's what they all say!
If you could, rate on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being as close to a shoe-in as possible and 1 being no chance. Thx!</p>

<p>You will have a valid lottery ticket.</p>

<p>The only shoo-ins are qualified kids (excellent GPA, SAT I, SAT II, AP, EC's) of multi-millionaire parents who give enough money for a building and similarly qualified Olympic athletes in a sport the school needs. All others are in the running, but a roll of the dice. A friend of my D's with better GPA, SAT I scores, more AP's, and rank than yours who composed the music to a musical was deferred ED by Yale. He did get in RD after submitting tons more supplemental material. You didn't say if you are a URM, but this might help. If you are Asian, it won't.</p>

<p>^ I do agree what you are saying, but blowing off steam on other people's threads won't do anything.</p>

<p>Just ignore these kind of threads, in addition, its their first post, it isn't necessarily a true post either. (Not saying that it definately IS, just saying you can think of it that way and ignore it to not feel AS discouraged.)</p>

5

<p>You are awesome...8.5...just please do us mortals a favor and not apply to too many other schools if you get in, lol...j/k</p>

6

<p>believe it or not, your stats are very similar to most of the students who apply for admission to yale. be careful!</p>

7

<p>a female wrestler? i would say that that's a possible hook... good job</p>

8

<p>Really good chance, but it is always a crapshoot.</p>

9

<p>just out of curiosity, would my chances be pretty much the same at Harvard EA and Princeton ED?</p>

10

<p>Yes it would. </p>

<p>There's not much more you can do with your statistics except pray.</p>

11

<p>You could always knock over a bank and donate the proceeds to Yale.</p>

12

<p>just so you know, Yale only looks at the Verbal and Math scores in terms of your SAT I (kind of like the old one) and then uses the Writing one as one of your required SAT IIs, if you so choose</p>

13

<p>What state are you from?? If you are from NJ, NY, MA then you probably have a 10% chance. If you're from WY, NM, UT you probably have a 50-75% chance. There are a lot of variables. You look very good on paper, but so do most of the 20,000 applicants for 1310 slots.</p>
