Yale SCEA??? Dream school and looking for reassurance...

<p>The only weakness in your profile is the insecurity and insensitivity that lead you to ask a question like this. Of course, you are an excellent candidate for Yale or for anywhere else. That doesn’t mean you will be accepted SCEA (or RD) at Yale, but the chances are overwhelming that if you apply to a few top colleges you will be accepted at more than one of them, and have great choices and opportunities. But you knew that already.</p>

<p>Most students aren’t in a position to say that. I think it’s hard for kids not to feel anxious and depressed when they see posts by other kids who are Practically Perfect in Every Way begging for reassurance that they have a chance of getting into their dream schools. A good skill to learn would be quiet confidence and a light touch. You are a very lucky, very talented young woman. Why risk squandering those gifts by making other people resent you?</p>
