HYPS will be hard with 10th/11th year grades, to be blunt.

That's quite the turnaround between 9th/10th grade and 11th/12th! I would think the applicant, the teacher recommendations and the guidance counselor's SSR Report would need to address the dramatic improvement and the reasons for it. A lot seems to have happened that cannot be identified by looking at the stats. Depending upon the circumstances and what was written by the applicant or by others, it could demonstrate the applicant's growth, character and maturity level. It's really impossible to chance, as there are too many variables and unknowns.
