Chance of getting into Yale?

What most people don't realize is that you can go wherever you want to go to college. If you apply and are not accepted, then simply sign up for a full-time course load as a non-major student. This means that you are not in a specific program and do not have a major. They have to take you if you can pay for it (this includes student loans, scholarships, etc). Give it a year and do your best with your grades to prove that you are "Yale material" and re-apply as a degree-seeking student. Voila! Problem solved. (I know someone who did this at Yale. He went on to become a minor politician in Connecticut and, yes, he was accepted as a degree-seeking student after a semester or two and has obviously graduated since then). Good luck in Yale!
