<p>I would say no.</p>

3

<p>I think you should try</p>

4

<p>There aren’t any other business schools in the Ivy League, but certainly try for something else! I think you have a decent shot, although if you’re only looking at HYP I’m not convinced you’ll have very much success.</p>

5

<p>You can try… but you don’t have much of a chance with your 31 ACT and 3.75 GPA. Your ECs are very competitive though.</p>

6

<p>you’d be silly not to.</p>

7

<p>You should apply because you only have one chance. However, you’re chance is not good.</p>

8

<p>I laugh at these posts, clearly they do not know what managing your own store and making decent money amounts to.</p>

<p>Is there any reason not to try is the real question</p>

<p>EDIT: I also find it humorous to see people saying “YOUR chance is not good” as if to say that theirs is better, don’t be phased everybody here is 17 and 18 and just as ignorant as every 17 and 18 year-old there ever was</p>

<p>HYP? prob not, other def</p>

10

<p>Your ECs are very good. Grades and test scores a little sub par, but I think you definitely have a shot, and might as well try!</p>
