<p>Great, your chances look great!</p>

3

<p>I don’t see any reason to reject you. Just pray that Yale finds you interesting! Good luck! :)</p>

4

<p>Too many activities perhaps? What did you do in each?</p>

5

<p>all the ones that were important i explained, other is the section for minor activities</p>

6

<p>Your stats are defenitely good, best ofl uck to you and hope that Yale picks you out of the many other amazing applicants. I say at great chance for you!</p>

7

<p>everything seems pretty good to me, seems you would have a pretty darn good chance</p>

8

<p>I don’t really want to douse your chances, but it seems like you didn’t really have a real passion. You have many good activities, but basically you took the “Shotgun” approach. No offense. I could be overly negative though. I’m curious as to if you’ll get accepted.</p>

9

<p>I thought my interests were politics: page, teen dems, and internship etc…
and service: recycling system, free tutoring program founder, author of fundraising cookbook, etc…</p>

<p>but that’s just my opinion, obviously im biased lol. I very much appreciate your input tho!</p>

10

<p>Yes, no problem. Recycling/Tutoring/Cookbook as politics?</p>

11

<p>no. if you read it again that is under the service section.</p>

12

<p>Wow. I think you have excellent chances! Your passion for government is evident, as is your commitment to improving your community through service. If your essays are as good as you think they are, I would feel pretty good if I were you. </p>

<p>I just submitted my application tonight. So nervous :confused: I wish you the best of luck!</p>

13

<p>I think your EC’s look decent for Yale, really emphasize politics as the strength of your application. Your stats are on par for a top school (don’t worry about the SAT, it’s fine) and if your essays/recs are excellent, you just may have a good chance!</p>

14

<p>Your EC’s are difficult to judge and your SAT II scores are low. Everything else looks good.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Unfortunately, places like Yale reject people for seemingly no reason, although obviously there must have been one, which is difficult to discern unless you’re an adcom.</p>

15

<p>It’s Yale’s loss if they don’t accept you!!!</p>

16

<p>Yale doesn’t allow for score choice. Those 8 SAT-IIs you took might wind up hurting you because you look desperate. Otherwise, you have solid stats.</p>

17

<p>You have everything, I would be stunned if you were rejected. You obviously have the stats, and the fact that you are involved in so many clubs and all those EC’s will make you stand out. Good luck at Yale!</p>

18

<p>Your qualifications seem to place you comfortably in the center of top tier applicants. I would guess that you SHOULD be just fine. Plus it looks like you had a lot of fun in High-School.</p>

19

<p>It’s up in the air; Yale is a reach for everybody but you have decent chances. Good luck!</p>

20

<p>Wow, your resume is impressive! Just hope that they don’t dock you for your low subject test scores. Still, I’d be surprised if Yale rejected you.</p>
