<p>Hi, I'm a girl from an Eastern European country who'd like to pursue her undergraduate studies in an American college. I have a GPA of 9.82 (out of 10), a current score of 2200 in the SAT (690 CR, 780 M, 730 W) and the following scores in SAT subject tests: 760 Math II, 730 French, 690 Lit. I'm planning on retaking all the tests in which I got less than 750 in October and November.</p>
<p>As for extracurricular activities, I have had two internships (a 3-month one at an English language center and a 1-month one at Microsoft, both in my city), a 3-year involvement in an international exchange program (it included me traveling abroad) as well as a 2-year involvement in an international youth organization (I participated in 3 events, at both regional and national level).</p>
<p>I volunteer at 2 social centers in my town, where I help children with their homework but also teach English. I also volunteer for an association that organizes international sports events in my city. </p>
<p>I've received notable awards in numerous essay competitions, both national and international, as well as prizes in national English language or General Knowledge contests.</p>
<p>I study at a highly competitive high school in my city, but I'm in the top 10% of the student's studying here. I also occupied the position of secretary in my high school's Student Council during my junior year.</p>
<p>I'd really like to study in the US, preferably major in something related to Social Studies, but I have no idea where my chances stand. So far my favorites are Princeton, UChicago, Amherst and Pomona, but are these way beyond my reach?</p>
