Chance an International Applicant for Top Universities

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am 1/2 Iraqi and 1/2 Afghani (won't this be troublesome ?) and I live in Europe. I am in a high school only for 'intellectually gifted' children that has ranked #1 in my country for multiple years in a row. I'm going to graduate this high school ' summa cum laude' (meaning with extremely high grades). My class rank is 1/90 in this extremely competitive environment. My high school thesis (mandatory for every student in my country) won first prize nationally and it was about Quantum Physics. My only problem is that my ECs are pretty much non-existant with the exception of a really good one- I represented a country with around 20 million people in the International Physics Olympiad. I got an A for my CAE Cambridge English test, is that sufficient proof for American top universities that I master English? </p>

<p>Please chance me (please do it in the 'high reach-low reach' way) for: MIT, Caltech, Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Stanford, and would it be better for me to go to one of these uni's or Oxbridge for UNDERGRAD physics?</p>

<p>Post link and I'll chance back!</p>

<p>most of them require both SAT and TOEFL. so you should take sat and toefl in order to prove your english level. however schools like mit or caltech offers two options for international applicants. option 1: sat + 2 subject tests. option 2: toefl + 2 subject tests. You seem pretty strong in science and high school grades.It’s really good. But I recommend you to focus on EC’s while you can.
