<p>Better than average chances for admission, although I can’t say if you’d get in EA as opposed to RD. Given Yale’s low admit rate my saying better than average chances is not really saying much. I seriously doubt you’ll be rejected EA.</p>

<p>your SAT I scores are rather low for yale…</p>

<p>but if you’re an URM i’d say pretty decent chances.</p>

4

<p>just curious but… what’s a URM?</p>

5

<p>under-represented minority…</p>

6

<p>ok thx guys!!</p>

<p>but do SATs matter so much?</p>

<p>Yale’s website points out the importance of the transcript</p>

<p>I do think that CC overrates SAT scores as well - universities point out that they are important only because they allow colleges to compare applicants amongst them</p>
