What are my chances? and How to improve [96 GPA, 1550 SAT, top 8%, psychology, low income]

What are your chances?

Well I don’t know the admit rates based on race and that will help you - but with a 4.5% rate at Yale and 3.7% at Columbia, the odds aren’t great - for anyone.

Obviously, you’re very accomplished - and I see you are doing Questbridge, and I bet you’ll find a match somewhere!!

You seem very accomplished. One concern I have - and I don’t know if it’s true - but do you have tenure and impact in your ECs or are they all short term?

Obviously, essays and LORs will matter.

If you’re headed into Senior year, likely not much you can do - but you certainly are a very credible candidate - and with many opportunities in QB, I’m guessing a good outcome for you.

Please make sure to have your state school as a backup - hopefully the state has a low income program.

Best of luck.
