<p>Numbers and ECs are good, but they are far from what you need for HYPMS. All five schools will be significant reaches.</p>

<p>OMG that was you in that Obama video? That’s so awesome!</p>

<p>Anyways, feel free to apply to HYPSM, though your chances aren’t great. How about schools like RPI, Carnegie Mellon, Illinois, Michigan. These are all strong engineering programs that you have a great chance at.</p>

<p>I agree with billabongboy and jogo. Everything is good but not great enough for HYPSM. Check out some of the lower Tier 1 schools.</p>
