<p>Honestly, I believe you are in at every school. I'm surprised you didn't apply to HYP.</p>

<p>I was actually considering Yale, but I'm considerably happier with the choices I've made.</p>

<p>Despite your somewhat low GPA for those schools, I'd say you're in. Your ECs are stellar, and you show definite passion. Not to mention your ethnicity ...</p>
