<p>how are my chances...???
I'm really worried about it since I've got no information related to going to an American university...</p>
<p>HYP are reaches for everyone no matter what your scores are, because there are just not enough seats. Take into consideration that last year 56,462 people applied to these 3 schools and only 5855 were admitted, for approximately 3500 acceptances, because they know that everyone who was admitted is not going to attend.</p>
<p>Look at Dartmouth, who enrolled a particularly large class this year in comparison to other years and are looking to change so that they don't enroll more than 1000 students per year.</p>
<p>Cornell had over 20,000 applications , admitted 6130 of which 3093 enrolled.</p>
<p>To top, it off you will be applying as an international student where the pool is going to be much more competitive for a handful of spots (maybe less than 100 at most schools, with the exception of Harvard which may be about 200) </p>
<p>I do not think that any one can truly give you an accurate guess, because there are also subjective criteria which much be taken into consideration. for example some schools are not need blind, meaning that they will look at your ability to pay for college.</p>
