<p>Hi! I'm currently a junior and planning on applying early action to Yale University next fall. What are my chances of being accepted?</p>
<p>Gender: Male
Race: Caucasian (although I am a quarter Asian. Would it help me to put this on the application?)</p>
<p>GPA- Unweighted: 4.0 Weighted: 5.2
Class rank: 1 of like 330 (I'm tied, although I don't think that'll show up)</p>
<p>High School: Highly competitive, strong IB curriculum. </p>
<p>ACT's: 35 composite</p>
<p>SAT's: Still waiting on scores. My standard practice test score (I took two) was between 2290 and 2360. I expect somewhere around there. </p>
<p>SAT Subject Tests: Plan on testing Math II and Biology, although won't do them till June. I expect pretty good scores, especially on math.</p>
<p>Enrolled in all IB classes--including more higher level classes than usual--taking 8 classes a day, very rigorous schedule.</p>
<p>Primary extracurricular activities:</p>
<p>Baseball-Started in high school. I'm frankly pretty bad. But I'll be on varsity next year (I'm on JV now)</p>
<p>Speech and Debate-I'm a national semi-finalist, and will likely place top 3 at the state competition this year. I'll also be the head captain of my team (of 100+ members) next year.</p>
<p>Teen grantmaking service-I'm involved in a program that allows teenagers to donate tens of thousands of donated dollars every year to various non-profits around my community. Been a member for as long as possible (soph year). I also rose to an officer role by election this year.</p>
<p>NHS- Member since sophomore year (earliest possible), was the treasurer my junior year, will likely be president next year.</p>
<p>Synagogue youth group- Was a "future leader" my freshman year, and then the president of community service for the next 2 years, and will likely hold that position next year.</p>
<p>Political action- Worked as an intern for the Obama campaign my freshman and sophomore years. Will try to work for the gubernatorial race this year, but I will likely only be able to volunteer, and not get an actual internship, as I'll be away for much of the summer. </p>
<p>Teacher recs: I have very strong relationships with my biology and english teachers. They will likely write my letters of rec. I may have my rabbi do an additional one, as I have been very active in the community. </p>
<p>Will likely try to major in political science or "Economics and Mathematics," a major offered only at Yale. </p>
