I’m a current Yale pre-med (rising junior). While I am no expert in college admissions, I can say that some of the courses that you took at Yale are known to be difficult ones, and it is very impressive that you got A’s. The fact that you have a publication as a high schooler is also noteworthy – publications are somewhat unusual even at the undergraduate level. So my (non-expert) opinion is that you have a very good shot – I was admitted two years ago with similar test scores and far less impressive extracurricular achievements. I don’t think that the 4’s on AP exams will be a hindrance given that you’ve proven that you can handle college-level work by taking actual college classes. Best of luck to you – I’m sure you’ll end up somewhere great! And as a side note, the people who stated above that you don’t apply to Yale as a pre-med are correct – everyone is in the same application pool, and there is no pre-med major at Yale.
