My GPA (FULL IB), is 36-38/42 and 38-40/45 </p>

<p>I've got good to great Teacher recs, and several ECs which include :
School body vice president
Basketball Vice captain
Scholarship in Junior Highschool

and many more</p>

<p>My target schools are (business):

<p>You should post this in the Chances thread since your post doesn’t relate specifically to UCLA.</p>

<p>The UC system does not accept letters of recommendation, for the record. And most private schools ask for two. </p>

<p>Your extracurriculars are solid; if you’ve been consistently active in them throughout HS, then that would be even better.</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about IB (sorry), but if everything else about your application is strong, then your lower-than-usual SAT scores shouldn’t make that big of a difference.</p>

<p>I would say you’ve got a decent chance for Berkeley, UCLA, and USC (which loves international students). I don’t know about the other schools (sorry) because I don’t know anything about them. U of Chicago is reputed to have the best economics program in the United States, just so you know.</p>
