Thread: Predictions for Yale Early Action?

In 10 days i will be getting the results back from Yale: i could be deferred, rejected, or (hopefully) accepted.
Given my background/stats, what do you predict will be the result?

Race: African American
Income: below 32k, family of 8 (6 kids) Although Yale claims to not look at this they have my parents' occupations, one of whom is currently unemployed.
SAT: 2110
SAT II's: 780 (Spanish w/ listening) and 700 World History
AP's: 3 5's and 2 4's
GPA: 3.83 unweighted
Rank: 2/350
Essays: ranged from serious/reflective tone to very unique, interesting
All in all, they were good and really showed who i am

wait until you get the results. you can be the smartest student do good in school and not get accepted into that school b/c of extracurricluar activitiies. it happened to a friend of mine good luck

Wow, I think you do have a relatively good chance. But I know that there are so many qualified students that apply there, so there may be others with just as good of a chance. But I have a feeling that if you don't get it, you will get into another great school so don't be too disappointed!
