@yaledreamer97 ^^ Looking over your chance thread, with SAT scores of 2050 and 2180 (even though you have a super score of 2200), I would think there is a likelihood that you might be deferred in the SCEA round due to your test scores, as Admissions will probably want to compare you to a larger applicant pool.

That said, as Yale receives thousands more applications than they have spots for in their freshman class, Admissions uses a student’s teacher recommendations, essays, guidance counselor’s Secondary School Report (SSR) and interview report to choose one high performing student over another. As you haven’t listed those items (nor should you), it’s really anyone’s guess as to what will happen when you apply.
