<p>hyp- I'll be honest, the pool of applicants at these schools look just like you. No one has a great chance at these, but you do have a shot. go ahead and apply...but these are the top 3 most selective schools in the nation as of 2006
brown- This one is easier to get into then HYPS, but still the same situation as them. the 7th most selective school in the nation as of 2006)
dartmouth-^ (this is the 8th most selective school in the nation as of 2006)
ucberkeley-Assuming you're instate...this you have a great chance at it, I would say...match, if your out of state...it become harder...15th most selective school in the nation as of 2006.
ucla-^ same as Berkeley, except less selective...18th most selective, as of 2006
georgetown-12th most selective, hard to get into, you have a fair shot.
uchicago-ahh some what of a reach but thats ok...a match basically
duke-13th most selective...much like the Brown situation...
mit(economy?)-hahaha this is basically an unoffical ivy school, same to a lesser degree as hyp
ucsd as a safety-I would say you're in, but this is a dangerous safety in my opinion...Davis, Irvine, Riverside, Santa Barbra, and Santa Cruz are better safeties. Just apply to all the UCs, UCSD can be very unpredictable.</p>
<p>Just to let a fellow HSSP know, if you are Korean, assuming that you consideirng you got 800 in Korean. There is a large pool of Koreans here at Johns Hopkins. Why don't you consider applying here? I'd recommend it. You would have a okay shot here at Hopkins.</p>
