What are my chances as a white male?

Ok I am sort of a dark horse candidate I believe and I am just groping in the dark for some idea of my chances, from someone who knows.

I have a 4.0 but I'm only in the top twenty percent of my class, partially because I transferred from a cathlic prep school to a public school.

I took six AP classes my junior year

I have SAT scores

VERBAL 790

MATH 700

WRITING 780

I placed in the top ten at the DECA international competition in marketing and management

I am an Eagle Scout and have been a leader in my troop for seven years.

I have fenced for four years, taught myself guitar and piano, and play open mics often.

I have worked at the same job all of highschool, during the week.

I played varsity soccer for two years, but I got injured and I had to quit.

I have over 300 service hours.

I am part of NHS.

I speak spanish fluently.

I am graduating early so I can go work for the red cross as a volunteer.

I hope to major in Philosophy and go on to law school so I can become a crminal prosecutor for the hague.

I'm a junior at Yale, and I've heard that only 25% of the kids who are actually good enough to come here actually get in, just due to space. That said, your odds are 25%.
