<p>I am sorry Yury, let me get this straight, you have a Canadian Citizenship, that means you were either born in Canada or You were in Canada for over 3 years. That added on to over 8 years in USA, that's about 8-11years in an english speaking country.
And you scored less than 700 in both writing AND CR and you want to go to CMU, NYU or Columbia?
Your chances are really slim no matter how many countries you have been to. I hope you have something special backing you up, like a nobel peace prize or some major national or international award.</p>
<p>I took your post seriously until i read this:
research more :) and good luck my fellow canadian</p>
