chance me for HYPSMC

<p>HYP - Probably not. While you do have excellent grades, that seems to be the only exceptional thing about your application. Most people applying to Harvard/Yale/Princeton have great grades. Furthermore, according to this: [Princeton</a> University | Admission Statistics](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/)</p>

<p>you will need to break 2300 to increase your chances from ~9% to ~22%. Simply excelling in classes is not enough for these schools. I know several kids at Harvard and Yale (some were also accepted to Princeton) and they all have something <em>special</em> about them. USNCO qualifier is nice but I’m not sure how much colleges really care about simply qualifying. </p>

<p>Stanford is probably out as well. I think that you have a reasonable shot at MIT and Caltech though. </p>

<p>I get the sense (from your username) that you are interested in working on Wall Street. In that case, I would recommend that you apply to Dartmouth as Big Green alum are highly represented on the street.</p>
