<p>^^ That’s definitely true, but in a grade such as yours with 800 students, any college (perhaps except HYPS) would be okay with accepting 3 students. I go to a competitive public school with about 180 students per grade, and a few years back we had 4 kids get in. I don’t know whether they all applied to the college, or Wharton, or whatever, but 4/180 got in, so assuming you go to a moderately competitive high school, 3/800 is not a stretch by any means.</p>
