<p>You’ve posted your “chance me” queries before. You’ve gotten (and should get) the same answers as before. My question to you is why do you persist in asking about something that you’ll only get kind-hearted guesses? Stop being insecure in your achievements and plow fwd. Might you get accepted? Yep. Might you get rejected? Yep. So what’s new?</p>

<p>Stop spilling forth your long list of achievements – you almost act as if this is all you are. Yalies I knew had impressive lists but they were a poor reflection of who they really were. I suspect you are as well. But you 've got to be more secure.</p>

<p>How are your chances? Poor. Like nearly everyone’s. </p>

<p>But given you have 36ACT and 5x 800 SAT IIs, what do you think? Really? (Hopefully you just aren’t a simple braggart)</p>

<p>But your chances are decent in the overall scheme of things. Period. Now please, no more “chance me” threads. I know of no one on the Yale admissions committee that’s likely to post a reply to you.</p>

<p>You’ll do fine next year. Maybe Yale might be lucky enough to snag you too. Now go and live your life. Congrats on your achievements to date.</p>

<p>Are all these achievements even possible? Montana must be on another planet with 48 hours a day.</p>
