<p>you’ve got a plethora of great ECs. I’m pretty sure you’ll get into UChi., but Yale is a <em>insert another cliche</em>.</p>

<p>Good luck though!</p>

<p>I’d wait to see your scores. And I’m curious about how snowboarding instructor is volunteering… Are you working with under-priviledged kids?</p>

<p>great chances. good luck</p>

<p>Great chance at University of Chicago and very fair chance at Yale University. Good luck!</p>

<p>I count (and the woman who runs the JISP program counts) my work as volunteer work because I do it for no money and very few benefits, I work with very young beginners, and because I began doing it to help the Bromley Outing Club when they were desperate and had very few people to instruct. </p>

<p>Thanks for the responses
