<p>From what I see, you’ve got a pretty good shot. You’d be in the mix. Your ECs are great, and I suspect your recs will be too. But since you’re just a sophomore, it’ll all come down to next year and your essays.</p>

<p>your SATs are great, and the orchestra stuff will be a big boost.</p>

<li>Don’t take the SAT again. 2380 at the beginning of sophomore year is more impressive than 2400. Take Subject Tests though, and do well.</li>
<li>You’re only a sophomore. Don’t screw up.</li>
<li>As it stands, you’ve got as good a chance as anyone.</li>
</ol>

<p>Lookin’ good. On paper, your sophomore profile is many times better than some of the HYP applicants’ on this forum.</p>

<p>Please stop making chance threads now. If four threads in one day isn’t enough to satisfy the hunger (need for validation? compliments?) of the most curious applicants, I don’t know what will.</p>

<p>I rarely say this, but if you keep this up you are HYP material.
