<p>To be honest, it doesn’t seem too likely. You seem like a very smart person, but there’s nothing that really stands out. It’s hard to evaluate your GPA without context (is it weighted or unweighted, how does it compare to your classmates?) so I’ll ignore that. Looking outside your GPA, you’re obviously good at math, but you’re not awesome at math (remember, some of the people that came in the top ten are applying to Yale too). You write a little, but it doesn’t seem incredibly important to you. You’ve dabbled in computer programming, but you don’t even call yourself an expert (and why did you learn Objective C?!) You’re good at piano, which is certainly awesome, but I don’t you have the skill of a concervatory level applicant, many of whom apply to Yale. You seem like a great person, and you certainly have a chance with some well thought out essays, but you seem like the sort of person where the admissions officers say, “I’d love to accept him, but I can’t quite justify it.”</p>
<p>That said, you have another year. Things will change. I wouldn’t stress about it right now.</p>
