<p>bump......</p>

<p>HYPS are all pretty long reaches...Duke and Northwestern are pretty short reaches</p>

4

<p>thanks, anyone else?</p>

5

<p>Agreed. I would be surprised if any one of HYPS accept you. Northwestern probably will, Duke probably won't. Being from Indiana might help though (?).</p>

<p>I don't think being from Indiana will help me very much. I'm hoping (although very stupidly, just so I can have something to hope for) that since I'm a female hoping to major in physics it will help me a tiny bit. Thanks. Still looking for more responses :)</p>

<p>i'd say stanford is the school for u, b/c they don't defer many ppl and deferees (many of them) get accepted, gl (i got rejected by them :()</p>

<p>Thanks! I'd absolutely LOVE to go to Stanford. I'll keep my fingers crossed.</p>
