Chance an Einstein

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Ok. Kidding. I just found this amazing website and I'd appreciate all input.
I'm an international from a Scandinavian country and I was wondering what will happen to me as I'm pretty accomplished in academics but totally lack in ECs. Not that I was inactive; I was usually very busy and there aren't many ECs to do in my country. Will the adcoms weigh this against me? I'll also need a full ride. </p>

<p>I'm applying to:
HYP
Columbia
MIT
Brown
Cornell.
Amherst
Huntsman at U Penn</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT I: 800 CR 800 M 770 W
SAT II: 800 WH 800 Math II 800 Physics 800 Chem 690 French ( Should I send the last one? I've been studying French for about a year)
Rank: school does not rank
GPA: 4.0, school doesn't do weighted GPAs
TOEFL: 118/120
Country: Scandinavian
Languages: currently speaking 8 languages, fluent in 6
Major: I can't decide between humanities and sciences. I love both.
Courseload: I can't tell for sure, but it's not very demanding. </p>

<p>Awards and honors:
IMO gold medal, IPhO bronze medal, IChO silver medal
School awards</p>

<p>ECs:
Nothing. :( Besides school, I only read books. Well, I'm doing piano since first grade, but does that count?</p>

<p>you are in at all
envy you so much
great accomplishments!!
won’t even say good luck, you don’t need it.</p>

4

<p>Don’t think you’ll have a problem getting in at any of them as long as you can write essays well.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Not so sure about this part.</p>

5

<p>lol ur a f**king genius. lol i wish i were u</p>

<p>Even though your an international applicant, you should get into almost all those schools. Great test scores, wow. Since your coming from an area that doesn’t send many kids to U.S. schools, the international applicant status wont be as hard on you.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! Any more advice is welcome!</p>

<p>Rejected at all. Sorry… bronze medals are unacceptable. Also, you’re SAT II are pretty weak…</p>

9

<p>to be perfectly honest you’re proobably not going to get a full ride… the Ivies and other top schools aren’t need blind for international applicants, if I’m not mistaken. and i think they consider your ability to pay in acceptance…</p>

<p>idk. i might just be bsing.</p>

<p>I think Princeton is</p>

11

<p>These are completely need-blind schools for intl. students:
Dartmouth
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
MIT
Williams
Amherst</p>

<p>Admission officers will not penalize you for your lack of ECs. They understand that in many overseas countries there are few ECs available and students aren’t expected to take part in many. Besides, things like being fluent in several languages can also count as an “EC” - something you don’t normally learn in the classroom. Being fluent in six languages is very impressive. You have a decent chance in any of those schools.</p>

<p>Thank You! Any more advice would be appreciated!</p>

<p>Just thought it might be useful for the future perusers of this thread to know that I was accepted everywhere I applied to.</p>
