<p>HYPS=reach if not recruited. You have good stats but you need to show extraordinary talent in some area, or be very good in many areas. I assume you are very good at sports–if you’re recruited you’re set. Good shot at duke L&S (i have two friends, both with good stats similar to yours, one rejected by duke engineering, other into L&S).</p>
<p>Cornell/rice good shot. Uchicago also reach i think.</p>
<p>My suggestions:
Be sure to do something cool this summer (research, volunteer, whatever… if you can something that will highlight a particular talent/interest, or practice a sport to be outstanding at)
Apply lots of schools, including HYPS, hope for best there but don’t be surprised w/ rejections.
Make your essays good.
Ace your subject tests if you haven’t taken them yet.</p>
