<p>Oh my gosh, ppl reply</p>
<p>You'll get into all of them. Your stats are already stunning (fantastic ECs), and your URM status will only help push your app to the top. Don't worry about all!</p>
<p>So the URM thing probably helps, but besides CR, you're SATs aren't so great...not even 25th percentile I believe. I would submit my ACT only.
Also, just a questions, why didn't you take the physics SAT II? That seems to be one of your fortes. Also, HYP require THREE SAT IIs. I hope you forgot to list the last one.
What were your AP scores? That would also play a key factor in the application. Also, I might have taken BC over stat, IMHO.
The work experience is nice, but did you only work around 4 months? That's not SUPER impressive.
I like the football thing and it stinks that you had to quit. That would've been a cool plus.
So anyway, sorry this sounds negative, but everyone else was so positive that I thought someone should bring you back to earth :). You are an impressive applicant but it's still a crapshoot in places as competitive as HYP.</p>
<p>The reason i did not take the SAT 2 in physics is that I am only able to take Physics 2 B at my school this year. When I was researching the quantum mechanics I taught it to myself over years for depth in one topic area of physics to produce advanced research, unfortuanely when you learn in depth you lose breath and so I do not know nearly as much about the other topics of Physics. </p>
<p>I know my SAT is pretty bad, but I had to send it in to Harvard and Princeton bc they require SAT 2s, but I only sent in my ACT to Yale. I know H and P require 3 but I had a debate tournament at University of Texas on the date I meant to take it in december, but I checked on thier websites and I can take it on Jan. 24th which I am going to do (already signed up). </p>
<p>I only worked during the summer. Man I couldn't hold a job and do that other stuff doing the school year. My AP scores were 5's on English and US History. I didn't take Chem (the class did not really prepare us for it) and Comp. Sci-bc I did not have time to study, bc I was studying for the SATs (the SATs were the week before). </p>
<p>I think my chances are a lot better at Yale than at the other two namely because they will only see the ACT and i applied under engineering (want to be a research engineer) which does not get as many apps at Yale, and Yale asks for the full report so I sent in the whole 16 page thing, as opposed to just the research descriptions for Harvard and Princeton. </p>
<p>Thanks for your negative post, it helps to hear the weakness in your app, bc that is what the Adcom's aregoing to say.</p>
