Chance a Bruneian

Colleges and Universities A-Z Williams College
1

<p>I am doing 4 A Levels (predicted 4 As, but may just get 2 As and 2 Bs- would this kill all my chances?)
AS Levels results: 5 As on combined sittings (ie superscore 2 sittings- allowed?)
O Levels: 7 As 1 B (superscore 2 sittings- allowed?)</p>

<p>SAT1: 700CR, 780M, 680W (3 sittings)
SAT2: 800 Math1, 790 Math2, 770 Physics</p>

<p>ECs: Chairperson of Environmental Club
Math team national runner ups (small country tho)
Computing team (national champs twice)</p>

<p>Computing Competition: Gold Medal (top scorer in nation)
Chemistry quiz- 3 time plaque winner (top 1 % 3 times)</p>

<p>Short research experience at a local university..
Work attachment at local hospital, stats department of prime minister's office..</p>

<p>Recom: one by chem teacher.. one by math teacher who trained the math team to talk about my passion in math</p>

<p>Essay: related to my Environmental passion.. but it's not about the club.. it's personal..</p>

<p>Anti hooks: math/computing teams only for year 9 and 10s only.. here in Brunei, we do not do our ECs for 50 hours per week/52 weeks a year.. they are rather brief..
Not much community service/ real work experience</p>

<p>This is not exhaustive but how are my chances? Should I retake any SAT1/2 in January?</p>

<p>Where's everybody?..</p>

4

<p>You probably know this...sat is 60ish pts above the average score admitted...ec's good, no gpa listed or class rank, quality of high school? good essay? need aid?, development candidate (like if father is Sultan of Brunei) you have as good a shot as many so the odds are sort of <2 in 10 assuming all the missing data is in line with your sat.</p>

5

<p>A Levels = No GPA, my counselor put me down as top 1 %
Quality of high school - sent students to Upenn, oxbridge.. there's a huge gap between top and not so good students tho
Essay = everyone thinks that his/her essay is great anyway
aid = are you telling me that williams ain't need blind?
And no, I am not the son of the sultan or the cousin of any sheikh</p>

<p>Is it that hard to chance me?..</p>

7

<p>yes. The international admissions process is completely different than the one we know.</p>
