I’m a new junior (Class of 2012) to these forums and I’m quite anxious about my chances at Yale.

My resume up to this current year are as follows:

GPA (by the end of Sophomore year):
-Unweighted: 3.687
-Weighted: 3.833

AP:
-World History: 3

SAT II:
-Biology: 720

PSAT (the curve this year I felt was pretty hard):
-205 (M:72, V:64, W:69, Top 3%)

Extracurricular/After-School:
-Writer for school newspaper (9-10)
-Copy editing staff for school literary magazine (9-10)
-One of the two Production Heads for school literary magazine(11)
-Class Senator (9-11)

Music:
-Played as soloist with NY Symphony Orchestra

Sports Achievements:
-Nationally ranked in fencing
-Placed in Top 8 in two National Competitions
-Placed 19 in North American Cup

Again, as a Junior, I have a relatively short time left until college applications start and my academic status and overall achievements feel shaky. I plan to take the following SATIIs: Math 2 and Chemistry and I am also working hard on my SAT in general. So, how do my credentials match up? Worst comes to worst, what colleges DO suit me if not Yale?
