Chance me at Yale please?

Yale has always been my #1 school, but I'm not sure if I meet the qualifications.

Academics:
GPA- 3.88 unweighted
SAT- 2330 (760 CR, 770 M, 800 W)
SAT IIs- Spanish 770, US History 760, Math I 720
APs- 9th Grade:Human Geo(4),
10th Grade:Euro(5), World(4), Psychology(4)
11th Grade: APUSH(5), Eng Lang(5), US Gov(4), Comp Gov(5), Calc AB(4), Phys B(3)
12th Grade: Enviro Sci, Biology, Macroeconomics, Statistics, Eng Lit, Calc BC

Extracurriculars:
-Speech/Debate: Team Captain
-Young Democrats
-Volunteer at children's museum
-Computer science internship during summer at state university
-Vice President of Jewish youth group
-Key Club
-National Honor Society

-Co-founded Microfinance Club

-Hispanic

I'm worried about my GPA being too low compared to other applicants, and that my SAT IIs and AP scores aren't high enough. Are they OK? and what should I do to have a more well-rounded application?

As a hooked candidate, your stats make it highly likely that you'll gain admission to a highly selective school, as long as you apply to enough of them. It might be Yale, but don't focus too much on one dream school. That being said, I don't think it would be unreasonable for you to apply SCEA to Yale.

Please see the Hispanic Students forum (under College Admissions, Specialty Topics) for information on scholarships, diversity fly-ins, etc. in the Resources sticky thread. Also, this thread and the links in it discuss college admissions for Hispanic students:

Does being Hispanic have any impact at all?
