Thinking of applying for xfer…

Ivy
2390 SAT I
35 ACT
3.96 HS GPA UW (magnet HS)
Pulling a 4.0 (freshman so far)
EC’s don’t really matter so I hear, but I’ve got published research if they care.

Reason for xfer (probably what’s gonna kill me): Spent two summers @yale for JSA… loved it. I applied to where I currently am due to location (close to home) and tuition benefits (parents employed here). I had a solid chance in HS to apply to Yale, but iono, didn’t really want to bother cause my parents would’ve not wanted to waste $. I like it here, but Yale would make me happier. Is this like, auto-reject?

I do however, love Yale’s Econ-Humanrights-ethics major, but I feel it’s a soft reason since you can basically craft that major anywhere. I really want to do pre-law, and Yale seems to be like the mecca for that, not that my current school’s pre-law program is bad at all. Iono, advice?
