<p>Thank you. My high school is not “top”, but decent. A little lower than the ones you mentioned. Nevertheless, we send 3-4 a year to HYPM. Further info about my GPA: if I had graduated this year, I would have made the top 10 (rank, not %) of the class. </p>
<p>I found the guy I was talking about.

<p>Bump, any more opinions?</p>
<p>Bump…I’m really concerned</p>
<p>You’re in the top 5% of your class with an excellent standardized test score - you will be favorably considered at any school. Your musical ability also sets you apart. You should feel quite confident in your applications, IMHO.</p>
<p>Do you think piano will still be able to stand out, even though I am Asian? Will they see me as “typical”?</p>
