Chances? Should I go early?

First of all, it is not certain that there will be early admissions of any kind at Yale this year. I doubt Yale (or Stanford) will hold out after Harvard and Princeton have abandoned it.

My main suggestion is to stop trying to think of yourself as a total index of accomplishments. Make sure you organize your essay and your application so that you show what sort of person you are. With what specific hopes, fears, dreams, strengths, challenges.

Good luck.
