[quote=Anonymous]Your guidance counselor and looking at SCOIR/Naviance will give a much better prediction than asking here. Maybe a 3.9 from your Big 3 is a true mark of distinction that has gotten similar kids accepted in the past. My kid's experience is that it won't be enough. Didn't go to a Big 3 but was #1 in class with an unweighted 4.0 in IB. 35 ACT, 800 and 780 on Subject tests, captain of 2 sports (though hardly a recruit in either), NSLIY scholarship and self-studied fluency in a less commonly taught language. Shut out at HYP, not even wait listed. Get in everywhere else, has had a great experience (well pre-Covid, at least) at a "Lower Ivy." My sense is that HYP aren't looking for the all-around excellent kid, they're looking for kids who are stratospheric in one aspect of their application - be it academic, athletic, artistic, or community engagement.
