<p>So hey I’m an international student in Shanghai. I’m applying to BC regular soon and would love some feedback on my chances.

2260 SAT (Superscore)
760 SAT II Math
740 SAT U.S
700 SAT World

<p>Extracurriculars:
Self-Published a novel that I’ve been working on in sophomore and junior years. (It’s not by a renowned company or anything but it’s a hobby and an interest I love to do)</p>
<p>Founded a club in junior year, Road to Recovery, that helps local Shanghainese who’ve suffered from stroke or other disabilities in the past. We’re working with a boy called Kang Kang and working on providing a solid foundation of K-12 education. On the side we’re also beginning to do autism rehabilitation using the interaction of dogs. I’ve been doing this since freshman year and all of our rehabilitation techniques have been coached to us by an officiated therapist, this guy called Tony haha.</p>
<p>JV/Varsity Swim team member: Joined when I transfered to my current school in sophomore year since my old school was semi-local and didn’t have such opportunities. 4 practices a week 1/2 hours and finally made varsity this year.</p>
<p>Joined GSA in junior year and am not the secretary. We’ve done multiple awareness events such as National Coming out day and pushed for a proposal to include LGBT+ and students with disabilities in the “treat as equally” section. It currently only includes discrimination based on race, gender etc.</p>
<p>Participated in this thingy called Carnegie Leadership training then went on to become a T.A. This is over the course of two years. We do demonstrations, prepare for leading class discussions, and communicate regularly with students in our group.</p>
<p>Went on a church sponsored gospel spreading trip to Fuding in China. Was a workshop/recreation leader, shop/storage manager, leader of scripture classes with students from middle school to the mid-30’s. This was in junior year and I’m planning on going this year again.</p>
<p>Internship at Ogilvy & Mather for public relations over this junior year summer. Really wanted to see where my interests lay and realized that it’s definitely not for me. I did a lot of social media for Ford in China and crony work for the higher ups. Proofreading and translating, communicating with various magazines, sending packages, cleaning up haha.
Also did an internship at the Voice of China where I had to give stage directions, burn our recordings (had to stay up all bloody night from 8 p.m to a.m, wierd working hours), distributing equipment in general.</p>
<p>Conflicted between putting my experience as a waiter, cashier, and kitchen assistant at a cafe in montreal and student council in freshman year.</p>
<p>What are my chances guys? Any feedback will be really appreciated C:</p>
