<p>I think you have a reasonable chance (and a very good chance of getting into one or more very selective colleges, as long as you applied to a number of them). Don’t worry about your church activities, or even if you wrote an essay about it, unless you called other people the pawns of Satan. Yale is looking for all kinds of people, and they are looking for people passionately involved in what interests them. I think it’s great that you were very involved in something outside of school.</p>
