<p>I think SAT is fine b/c those schools don’t look at it. CCA’s are ok though I don’t see what your gpa is. All those are slight reaches, but you have an ok shot at all of them.</p>

<p>i dont have GPA’ s up cause my school doesnt give them. i come from singapore so that means we just have one major exam called the a levels. we have internal exams and prelim exams but all those grades are hugely grade deflated. i understand that all those schools have low acceptance rates so it’s all gonna be hard, so im just gonna give it a shot. Thanks for the reply anyway!</p>

<p>Hmm lets look at your academics</p>

<p>Your SATs are fine for those schools </p>

<p>But I think your A Level results aren’t that good because a lot of students will apply with all A’s and even all A*s </p>

<p>Your ECs are good and since you won’t be applying for any aid you have good shot at U of V NYU and U Mich </p>

<p>However Cornell and Northwestern are reaches as they are very selective
Georgetown is mid reach</p>

<p>yeah,
but i’m applying to NYU stern, so guess it’ll be a lot harder as well right? If i take an ED to NYU stern would it make much of a difference? and Singapore doesnt have A*'s yet, at least not for my year. heh</p>

6

<p>Hmm ok but since aid is not a factor it won’t be a problem for you</p>

7

<p>I actually wonder how the AOs look at our prelims and promos results coz they are so different from what one gets in the States?
Anws fellow Singapore student here :D</p>

<p>I think your EC is fine, SAT is fine too.
Maybe the essay would be the determining factor.</p>
