<p>fairly low chance unless you are a minority, first generation, or like double legacy.</p>

3

<p>he also is an african american</p>

4

<p>being a minority helps but they get a ton of kids from nj and stats arent typical yale application standards</p>

5

<p>does double legacy hold a lot more influence than single legacy?</p>

6

<p>I’ve known several double legacies who were top ranked in their class, all of them have been rejected.</p>

<p>The question is whether the stats are typical for URM applicants, and they may well be competitive. The ECs are pretty good. I would say that this student is likely to be accepted to one or more highly selective school–it’s tougher to predict any specific one.
By the way, he must be a pretty good actor if he can play Anne Frank…</p>

<p>Is your 3.7 GPA out of 4.0 or 5.0? Did you copy and paste this from a resume? I personally wouldn’t put information that specific online.</p>
