count on it. I would be surprised if you got rejected.

ISEF, Lincoln Center, 2390 SAT = Extremely good chances . . . I like your stats. I hope there aren't too many like you applying to Yale, RD or many of us would be in trouble.

Thanks . . . but this is Yale, right??? Possibly the most prestigious university known to our generation??? Does anybody else have other opinions???

You never said your ethnicity, but you look like the typical Asian applicant: great test scores, ISEF, chess club, and music. With so many fellow violion playing, 2400-scoring, national science competition semi-finalists competing for a limited numbers of slots, people falling in this mold really have to walk on water to get in. Nonetheless, I think you will stand out even in that competitive pool. Good luck! Hope you join the class of 2010!

Great chances....70-80%? Maybe more

Dear Moriarity, where did you apply early and did you get in or where you deferred/rejected?

P._Moriarty · 12-23-2005, 08:07 AM

I got deferred from princeton . . . bastards (cries in a corner)

nobody has an 80% chance. Go read the admitted thread for EA.
