<p>If you're an international, it may be difficult. If not, and if you write good essays, I daresay you'll get into one of HYPS (the legacy status at Yale / affiliation with Harvard will probably help).</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>Yes, I am an international - but Denmark is (apparently) an underrepresented country. I have lived in Massachusetts, though.</p>

<p>thread revival</p>

<p>You like me come from an underrepresented country so hopefully it helps us both :)</p>

<p>I hope so :)</p>

<p>Other viewpoints would be appreciated!</p>
