<p>“Your chances of getting in are much higher than 7%”</p>
<p>Based on what?</p>
<p>Philo: We’ll have to agree to disagree. When you say this young lady’s chances are 40%, you’re stating to her that statistically, she’s almost six times more likely than other applicants. I don’t know of anyone outside of a recruited athlete that is so desired by Yale.</p>

<p>Here are peoples’ yes/no summaries. Look at some of the rejected students. Also there is no advantage to SCEA applicants over RD applicants at Yale.</p>
<p>But to be frank, I disagree with anyone citing a “percentage”. I would say that even a Yale admissions officer wouldn’t go do such a thing.</p>
<p>Good is relative. I would agree 40% is good. I just doubt there are many people extant who have a “good” chance whatsoever.</p>
<p>To my88: best of luck to you. You’ve already gotten some great achievements. Keep up the great work!</p>
