<p>I'm an international student and have lived in the US since the middle of my freshman year. I was born and raised in SOuth Africa and moved with my family to Germany when i was 13 where I had to learn Geraman and attend a German school. I'm now at a Catholic School In south carolina.
SATs
CR:690
Math:630
Writing:660
ACT: 30
GPA: 3.4ish (with most difficult course load available)
I've taken 5 AP classes
Decent comm. service, very involved in horse riding (work at the barn and show competitively) have participated in school sports and clubs..
I really want to go and visit but I dont want to take time off school to travel if I have no chance. Also, I dont want to fall in love with the campus if i have no hope
Would it improve my chances to call the admissions officer in my area and speak to her about my applications?
Yes, I know its a long shot. I'm looking for helpful advice not "you're crazy to have applied"</p>
<p>Thanks in advance guys!!</p>
