<p>What chances do I have with the Ivies?
Any advice is most appreciated! </p>
<p>I'm a female Australian.
Ranked in the top 3 at my school of about 200 (big over here in Sydney)
SAT 1: I'll be taking them this October (at least 2200 is expected)
SAT 2: Maths I, English Lit, US History (set for november)</p>
<p>I'm a passionate debater and public speaker. Some of my ECs include:
* The State UN conference, The National UN conference, The Hague International Model United Nations (I was one of 17 of over 2000 applicants for a position in the 2006 conference. I was chosen for the Legal Committee.) The team was chosen with recommendations from our Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition.
* I've been debating for 5 years. I've represented the state of New South Wales on the debate team and have competed in university tournaments. This year, I ranked best female speaker and 3rd best speaker overall.
* I've done legal work through mock trial in a barrister position and the Australian Mooting Rounds, where I was scouted for a scholarship to complete a law degree at Bond University.</p>
<p>I hope to emphasise the debating/advocacy side of things.<br>
Although my academics are in the very top bracket at school, I think that my strengths lie with my ECs.<br>
How does it look so far - which colleges do you think I have a good chance?
I will be applying Early Action to Harvard for a government degree. Is this a massive reach for me? I'm also looking into Georgetown SFS. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
