australian application

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm applying to Ivy Leagues this year, from Australia and a little confused about the US procedure.
I have a few questions so any feedback is appreciated!</p>

<p>1) I won't have my year 12 scores (or my HSC (graduating scores) by the time I apply. My school will provide projected grades. Is this enough?</p>

<p>2) If I take Maths IC for my SAT II, will this hurt my chances? (I am not at all mathematically focused. And I want to major in political science)</p>

<p>3) How important are ECs for Ivy Leagues? I think this is the strongest section, as I've represented Australia on a number of debating and leadership forums with recommendations from the Prime Minister. </p>

<p>Thank you - any feedback is great!</p>
