Those classes look great! Below average in AP’s for Yale, but they look into requirements/offerings at your school and certainly would not hold you back when there was no choice.
If your grades are mainly A’s (maybe with a few B’s,) have great extracurriculars, and write a superb essay, you definitely have a chance!

@SandcrabGator thank you! Do you think it would help if I self studied an AP class because I don’t have much room to take one at my school. I was thinking AP Psychology

Sorry for taking so long to respond!

Self-studying is certainly a way to show initiative, so if you think you can handle it and score well on the exam it would definitely help!
