<p>Your grades/sats are strong. I think you will get into at least two Ivy League schools, but not necessarily HYPS. What is your high school’s track record? If the IB students have a solid record of going to HYPS each year, and you still are 1, then you should be set.</p>

<p>Thanks atypical23, I’m not sure overall how my school has done, but I do know that last year out of our top ten, 1 student went to Yale, 1 to Stanford, 1 to Dartmouth, and 3 to Cornell.</p>
