<p>lol, you go above and beyond the top score. =p</p>

<p>Just kidding. I'm not sure what those scores mean, but being an international will make admission much more difficult, especially since you're from England. However, you do have a strong resume -- great scores, good ECs, great honors/awards. Will you need financial aid? Many US universities that are need-blind for citizens are non-need-blind for internationals and thus whether you need financial aid will affect your chances.</p>
