<p>Stop being a show off!!! You are a genius! You will get into any college you want!</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you can get into any of the schools you listed. You have a very impressive record. If you really want to try for HYPS, then go ahead! There’s no harm in trying.</p>

<p>Thank you for the kind words. My biggest concerns are my GPA and EC’s. In my Freshman and Sophomore year, I got a mix of A’s and B’s because I was still adapting to the high school environment. Thankfully, I got my act together and did well in my Junior year. The problem with my EC’s is that I have not done anything notable, such as starting a community service project or winning a nationally recognized award.</p>
