My suggestions/opinions

1) elementary school. No. You'll appear to be grasping at straws.
2) private medical stuff. keep private
3) other students applying: no, you'll appear too nervous. Ignore it. It doesn't matter anyways
4) ECs: sure
5) boyfriend: no. It makes you look immature and not serious about what Yale has to offer. Why should they invest in you if a BF is more important. If you mention this, you'll be sunk for sure. Frankly, you should go to the parents forum and ask about this. I'm not sure your path is one I'd want my daughter to undertake.
6) Don't ask for other schools. It shows your lack of resourcefulness. Their internal reply would be "You've GOT to be kidding me". I'd think that. If you want help searching go to other forums on CC or your guidance counselor. Don't waste the time of a Yale admissions officer.
7) necklace? As long as it's tasteful, not monstrously large or not gaudy, why not?
