Yes, you have a chance. It’s hard to gauge how good a chance without knowing more about how your admissions package would read to Yale’s adcom – would it add up to something that stands out among the many people with pretty good grades and test scores?

Your ACT score would put you somewhere between the 25th and 50th percentiles for entering freshman in Y’15, but the great majority of applicants in that range get rejected. Based on what you’ve posted, Yale is a long shot. But, if you want Yale, go for it!
