<p>Hello everyone, i'm an exchange student from Thailand. I'm currently in the United States and will go back to Thailand in June. My school in Thailand is an American school with all classes taught in English. English is my second language with Thai as my first and Chinese as my third (my school makes Thai, English and Chinese mandatory for all students.) Can you all please give suggestions and tell me your opinion on whether I will get into any of these universities (I know it's a big reach, but I refuse to give up before even trying.) Thanks! This is the list of my classes and EC for the past 3 years (I'm currently a Junior.)</p>

<p>School's newspaper:

<p>Other clubs:

Take 3 APs next year</p>

Critical Reading: 570 (I know it's quite low)
Math: 650
Writing: 620</p>
<p>I'm going to take SAT again and hopefully it will be better.</p>
<p>Universities that I want to get in:
First of all I want to major in Business Administration (Marketing) and so these are the universities that I really really want to apply to</p>
<ul>
<li>University of Michigan</li>
<li>NYU</li>
<li>UPenn</li>
<li>UVa</li>
<li>Cornell </li>
<li>UC Berkeley</li>
<li>USC</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
</ul>
<p>Again, I know it is huge reach but like I said I refuse to give up before trying. I considered myself to be fluent in English and Thai and somewhat fluent in Chinese (although I learn all these languages since I was in elementary school.) Students from my school got into top schools before such as Harvard, Berkeley, UVa, USC etc. </p>
<p>Please, please tell me if I have any chance of getting into any of these schools? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this thread :D</p>
