<p>I'm a white and I live in central Illinois
Am I shooting to high???</p>

<p>your grades seem great, but i’m wondering if your HS is competitive since you apparently don’t have any B+'s (though the AP scores make it seem like it’s good enough :))
northwestern and uchicago are possible, but you probably need better ECs for HYPS</p>

<p>also, how did you get a 2375 SAT? they only go up by 10s…</p>

<p>You’ve got the grades and scores, but you need extracurriculars. You can get a lot of advice on cc about them. You should work on a list of safeties and matches that are good fits for you. Also, don’t just assume that you like top schools like the hyp. Actually see if you fit well there! Good luck and you have a lot going for you as an applicant!</p>

<p>Haha typo! I got a 2370 :slight_smile: and you’re right my high school is rather uncompetitive (the majority of students don’t attend college) thanks for the replies!</p>
