<p>I was going to apply Yale EA, but instead decided to apply columbia ED. If I am denied or deferred, still going to apply RD, but I'm kind of glad because I think I have a better chance getting into columbia. Still, even though columbia is my first choice jsut because of location and what I want to do, Yale is a very close second.</p>

<p>Pretty good chances. SAT II's are a little low (are you retaking?) EC's seem solid too. With good essays and recs you have a great shot at making both schools. Good luck!</p>
<p>I'll probably at least retake writing. That's what I'm good at; I think I could get 700 plus easily. I wasn't prepared for that short of an essay time- I think thats what screwed me up.</p>
<p>I don't know about your chances, but your SAT II's are low for Yale and, compared with other people I have seen on this board, there is nothing that stands about your ECs. </p>
<p>Hopefully you have a chance because I have almost the same stats as you. Except my SATIIs are higher and my SATI is lower. I also was going to do EA for Yale but then switched to ED in Columbia for the same reasons... I want to major in nueroscience. (Yale does not have this for undergrads.)</p>
