<p>My teacher recs will outstanding i have a great out and in class relationship with my teachers</p>

<p>I have some good prompts for my essays and i am a good writer so that should be allright.
Thanks guys!!!</p>

<p>As a bench mark, HPME is more selective than HYP. This means we’re looking at about a 6-9% acceptance rate here. </p>

<p>You’re a FINE candidate for normal acceptance to the school, in fact I have no doubts that you would get in. </p>

<p>However, HPME is elective amongst the very best and already very accomplished students in the nation. It’s any bodies guess to be honest.</p>

<p>You’re obviously accomplished and should have some very good options come decision time but as Majman said, it’s a wash once you put all the top candidates together. You should have as good a chance as anyone though.</p>

<p>Your chances are definitely better than mine haha</p>
