<p>Hello all! I'm an international student from Finland, wanting to apply to college in the US fall of 2010! I have quite a unique secondary school situation so I was hoping I could get some opinions on the schools I want to apply to, and my chances.</p>
<p>Basically, I was born in Finland, but lived in the US for 11 years. I graduated high school there in 3 years (skipping senior year) because my parents wanted to move back to Finland. Now the past 2 years I've lived in Finland and attended an International Baccalaureate high school. SO... my stats in total are:</p>
<p>US High School=
GPA: 4.0 unweighted
Rank: 1/175
ACT: 33 composite
Courses: (since I left before senior year I didn't get a chance to take AP courses) but I took a college prep/honors program
ECs: marching band (3 years) section and squad leader, symphonic band 1st chair (3 years), clarinet lessons for younger students (2 years), SSA choir (2 years), tech crew for musical (3 years), National Honors Society (4 years), French Honors Society, 2 district art awards</p>
<p>Finland high school=
IB courses
English A1 HL: 7
Economics HL: 7
Psychology HL: 7
French B SL: 6
Biology SL: 6
Math SL: 7
150 service (CAS) hours: French exchange program, translating service, school newspaper articles, etc.
TOK essay and EE not graded yet, but expecting at least one bonus point = 40-43/45</p>
<p>The schools that I'm currently interested in are: *Brown, Barnard, Wellesley, Stanford, Yale, and UPenn. * I'm not sure where I stand to be able to get accepted into these top schools, regardless of my nationality. I would hate to apply to all, and get rejected by all just because I didn't know how good my grades are. SO... if I could please get some opinions on my chances, I could better figure out what schools to apply to! Thanks!!!</p>
