<p>Please chance me!
I m an international applicant - I'm a good student, and my essays & LORs are really strong.
I have always been in the top 3 students of my class rank-wise. I go to a really competitive school.
My school doesn't have an A.P or GPA system, but I'm taking the hardest course offered. I participate in many extra curriculars - I'm mentioning some of the important ones below..
I am the Head Girl of my school and a member of the school's reputed basketball team. I am a keen writer and have had a book published this year!</p>

<p>I have applied for financial aid…I know that ll make the competition tougher.
does the financial situation matter more or do one’s stats matter more? (for international applicants)</p>
<p>^^^ They are need aware. Which mean they look at your scores while giving out financial aid. I’m a fellow applicant and have wayyyyy lower scores than you have! <em>hugs</em></p>
