josue, There’s nothing in your profile that would keep you out of Yale and a lot that would make you a person of interest. Having said that Yale is insanely competitive and the competition for SCEA increased significantly this year.

So…I’d just put Yale out of mind for now and concentrate on your RD applications. Where else are you applying?

PS, Your SATs are not dreadful. Retaking them would be, in my opinion, a waste of time. Put the effort into your other applications, especially the essays and resume.

Try organizing your ECs so that they are more focused on the two or three that are the most important to you. Your list is all good but it’s hard to get a handle on which are the most meaningful.

If you’re seriously involved in music, you might consider submitting a performance tape, even if you don’t intend to major in music. You can see instructions for doing so on the colleges’ websites under “supplemental materials.”
