<p>i got a 2360 on the sat, 760 writing with 10 essay/ top 10 %/ 780,770,660 subject tests, great essays (out of the 5 people who read them, 3 teared up), great extra curriculars (organized and played a benefit concert that raised over 1600 dollars and got 100+ books for a school in uganda, founded my own successful community service club, two sport varsity athlete in baseball and basketball, state champion pianist…) / asian male from georgia/ my counselor told me that my recommendations were the strongest that she has seen at school</p>

<p>i’d give it about a 25/50/25 (acceptance, deferral, and rejection)</p>

<p>do yall think so?</p>

42

<p>3.96GPA / 4
2280 (800/680cr/800)
34 (36english/35math/30reading/35science)
ILO alternate for US team (1 spot away -_-)
USAMOx2, amc10 perfect</p>

<p>applying on the hope that the admissions officer really loves asians from NJ</p>

<p>I’d guess 20% accept / 75% defer / 5% reject. I think my stats make me the typical deferred applicant, strong enough to be at Yale, but maybe some other better ppl will apply to fill in those math spots during RD. hope ><</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Um, no. Adcoms hate asians from NJ. But, you’re USAMO. What are you worried about? BTW, how did you manage to not get perfect on the ACT Math and yet still make USAMO twice?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m fairly sure he was kidding. Pretty funny, in my opinion.</p>

45

<p>I won’t get in this year. No chance whatsoever.</p>

46

<p>I’d say 75% deferred, 10% accepted, 15% rejected</p>

47

<p>Huh. People in this thread are being very optimistic. I see people with similar stats and accomplishments as me giving themselves around 50/50 chances. I’d give myself less than half that.</p>

48

<p>I’d say 65% deferred, 10% accepted, 24% rejected, and 1% they’re gonna tell my alumni interviewer to punch me. But I am a hopeless optimist.</p>

49

<p>80% accepted, 15% deferred, 5% rejected</p>

<p>… Totally kidding</p>

<p>To be realistic I’d say to switch my accepted with my rejected =P</p>

50

<p>I think I’ll most likely get deferred. Maybe I’ll get rejected. I hope I get accepted, but you never know…</p>

51

<p>5% accepted 60% deferred 35% rejected…</p>

52

<p>20% accepted 79% deferred 1% rejected</p>

53

<p>100% acceptance. My dad is the Dean at Yale.</p>

54

<p>I don’t want to think about my chances… it just depresses me :(</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!
and we need a pledge thread!</p>

55

<p>I second that we need a pledge thread</p>

56

<p>What’s a pledge thread?</p>

57

<p>On the one hand I’m quite optimistic. My grades are all great (I’m from the UK so no such thing as a GPA, but all 'A’s), I’ll have published two books and sold about 20k of them by the time course starts, and I spent a year in a small spanish school in the south of spain and became pretty fluent in the language - plus passed all the end of year exams in a language that was completely new to me 11 months previous. Plus my essays were pretty great (one about the books and the other about school in spain).</p>

<p>That said, for some reason I’ve got a strong feeling I’m not getting in! </p>

<p>So, to put a number on it…err… 40%.</p>

58

<p>I am determined to start my essays tonight. :)</p>

59

<p>lmao… Silver’s gangsta like that :D</p>

60

<p>For those of you who say that some posters here are too optimistic. (Not me, btw, since I said 65% deferred, 10% accepted and 25% rejected)</p>

<p>You do realize that a lot of CCers DO end up getting into Yale, right? You can’t just assume that no one has less than 50% chance here. If you get in, you get in. If someone knows for definite that he’s gonna get in, he could even say 100%.</p>
