<p>SATs are a little low...but other than that I have no reason to doubt that you have a good shot (if not guaranteed shot) at all of them. Just to increase your chances (esp for HYP) shock em with your essays lol</p>

<p>good luck!! and boy do i wish i had your stats</p>

<p>Forget applying to NC State - you just don't need it with your stats . You have too many reaches on your list so I say work to focus the list down to your top 5. Where do you really want to go and why? </p>

<p>Consider making Yale your ED choice assuming that you would like to be there and I think you have great chance.</p>
