<p>I heard many school's admission is really tough, so I want to ask if I'm ready to apply to these programs. </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>are you a citizen or permenant resident?
Most programs require one of these.</p>

<p>Anyways, your resume looks quite good but unfortunately, don't expect to get much sympathy for your verbal score (even though you are a foreign student).</p>

<p>I'm a permenant resident</p>

<p>can anyone please give me some comments? Thank you.</p>

<p>You can always try, the requirements for dif schools vary. Since you're a junior, you have time to strengthen your resume, which isn't that bad, but could be more competitive. Places like Northwestern's HPME program value English language proficiency, so try to improve your verbal. And remember to take SAT2s, most schools require at least one. Good luck =)</p>
