<p>Unless you're a phenom, the arts supplement probably won't help. You stand a good chance. Honestly, no one can give a good answer, but you've got the president position, and the academics. You're school rank will matter, and you haven't posted that. However, whatever happens, you'll be fine. Someone I went to high school with didn't get into HYPSM, but he's working at Morgan Stanley this summer (that's the #3 name in investment banking), so hey, you'll get your opportunities wherever you go. Don't worry. A higher GPA is easier to get at a less prestigious school. Fact.</p>

<p>P.S. I'm Princeton '09.</p>
