Canadian Applicant

<p>I’m currently in grade eleven. I’m thinking about applying to the USA for university but I’m not too sure yet.</p>

<p>Do I need to take the SATs in order to apply or could I get in without them?</p>

<p>Also, I was wondering if I could get into any decent American schools (preferably Ivy leagues?). I’ll describe myself below:</p>

<p>-quite a lot of financial need (my mom’s a secretary and my dad has been out of work for two years due to an injury)
-92-95% student (4.0 GPA)
-was a youth councilor for a term in my city
-president of the athletic council
-on three other councils in the school
-on three sports teams
-volunteer for kids help phone
-tutor
-reading buddies (library)
-homework club
-worked at a camp for the last two summers
-hold a part-time job during the year as well
-COIN for the last two years
-Work at summer camp
-Work in a store
-have started a Kids Help Phone club at my school
-volunteer in an old age home</p>

<p>And I plan to do more. </p>

<p>Thanks for all the help.</p>
