They’re reach schools, they always are…write an amazing essay. Good luck.</p>

<p>HYPS would be a high reach. </p>

<p>You have good scores and grades, but your ECs are quite lacking. Many people are like you with good scores, but your ECs are what set you apart. Try to be unique, and write good essays are your best bet. </p>
