Speak with your guidance counselor and ask them:

1. Is it true that no student from our country has applied to Yale or Princeton in the last 10 years?

2. If #1 is false, how many students from our country have applied to YP and have been admitted?

3. Does my high school have a relationship based upon prior acceptances with HYP or Stanford?

4. Based on what you know about my transcript, GPA and test scores, where do you think I have the best chance of being admitted SCEA?

Your GC is the expert on college acceptances from your high school and your country. They are better at providing you with sound advice rather than an internet stranger who does not know you, your country, the students at your school or the other students from your country who might also be applying to HYPS. Trust your GC’s advice, as they have to write you a recommendation and rate the rigor of your course load in the Secondary School Report (SSR). See page 2 of SSR, especially the top portion of page 2: http://www.du.edu/apply/media/documents/2012CASSR.pdf
