<p>No to HYPS. SAT scores won't cut it in your demographic.</p>

3

4

<p>bump me up plz</p>

5

<p>i would appreciate some comments. thanks. bump</p>

6

<p>really good ec's, probably yes for northwestern, michigan, boston?</p>

7

<p>thanks, i dont really have high expectations for HYPS im just applyin there cuz its the only time that i will get a chacne so its pretty much just for kicks</p>

<p>it would be spectacular if i got into a accellerated men program</p>

<p>my main focus is at michigan, cornell, northwestern, duke, gtown, and johns hopkins</p>

<p>any other suggestions or comments? thanks</p>

<p>You ACT gives you pretty good chances at most of them, but HYPS are always hard for anyone.</p>

9

<p>urscores need help</p>

10

<p>I definetly wouldn't say you're out of the running for HYPS. True, your scores are a bit low, but they look at more than SAT scores. Write some kick-butt essays, get some good recs, and see what happens! Boston is extremely likely, though.</p>

11

<p>Thanks guys. haha i think im done with sats though, ive taken em three times already! ACTs i will prolly take maybe 1 or 2 more times to get a higher score. </p>

<p>My recs will defintely be superb i think and im gonna give it my all on my essays. </p>

<p>blondie, when u were talkin about boston, do u mean BU or BC?</p>

<p>anyone have any opinions on the likelyhood of my acceptance to an accelerated med program??</p>

<p>any other comments or suggestions? thanks!</p>

<p>i also play the saxophone.....alto sax (to be specific).....how long have you been playing? me, 8 years.....I'll probably play it for the rest of my life, it's like the best instrument ever!.....but anywho....</p>

<p>ummm.....HYP would of course be a reach. as for the other colleges, i say your a close match.</p>

14

<p>thanks youll see, ive been playin alto sax also since 6th grade so thats 6 years for me... </p>

<p>any other suggestions or comments? thanks</p>

15

<p>Oooo, sax. Being good at sax means being good at s*x. ;) Are you guys crazy like the piano players and go to insanely difficult competitions?</p>

16

<p>any other suggestions? thanks</p>

19
