Don't live by "what ifs." Do what you think best for YOU & let things fall out as they will. You are NOT directly competing with the other students from your HS in that if you're all outstanding, you could ALL be admitted. Of course, it helps you stand out if you're the only one from that HS applying to that school, but it's still your credentials & what sets you apart that gets you admitted or not. Sometimes schools will decline one applicant over another because one showed more interest or had that "something" that the school was searching for that year. Don't sell yourself short & directly compare yourself with other candidates you believe are "better." There will always be all kinds of folks applying & accepted at many of these schools, including HYP. Good luck & believe in yourself!
