<p>You’re in at Duke and the lower Ivies. If your essay is amazing and personal, I don’t see why HYPS shouldn’t take you.</p>

<p>There’s no doubt in my mind that you’re in. I got in with an average high school record but with an amazing essay. You seem to have both. If by chance you somehow don’t get in (which I highly doubt) then it just wasn’t meant to be because otherwise you seem to be a shoe in. Decided not to go but it is amazing school, one of the prettiest campuses.</p>
