<p>I mean, you’ve gotta realize that you’re a great candidate for a bunch of reasons. It’s always a crapshoot with ivies, but you’re a fantastic candidate and if you weren’t to get in to one or more of them, it isn’t because you did something wrong. I’d say that you get into Cornell and Dartmouth for sure and at least one of HYP.</p>

<p>Agree with fdeb35 you are definitely a strong applicant but it is a crapshoot with HYP.</p>
