<p>You wrote that you have a gold and a bronze medals at an International Math Competition 
which competition was it? the IMO?</p>
<p>no, it was an international mathematicians competition in India. I participated in the Junior section, being in 8th grade (freshman equivalent)</p>
<p>Bumpā¦</p>
<p>Bounty123, thatās my thread =)))</p>
<p>I think Princeton, Yale, and Brown are reaches and Columbia a low reach
Tufts and everything else I think are matches</p>
<p>Are my chances going to be significantly improved if I get, say, 730 on CR and 770 on writing sections of the SAT?</p>
<p>Though your scores are not very good but pretty normal for most of the universities youāve listed, your EC-s and achievements are just GREAT. I think you have really good chances because of those.
Try to arrange interviews if you still can, that will raise your chances even more!</p>
<p>Thank you for your reply Kvantri! I know it about the scores, but Iām hoping to raise them next time I take the SAT (the last one, finally!) as for interviews, no ivy alums live in Siberia or even close) even though I did put āwant to be contacted if possibleā or smth on the supplements</p>
<p>try arranging interviews through skype, that works for them sometimes as well. And good luck</p>
<p>thank you Kvantri, Iāll try that! best of luck to you too!</p>
<p>your SATs I score are below from what most of the ivies acceptd but still have a shot at getting accepted</p>
<p>Honestly, I have no idea when it comes to international students and financial aid, but based on your overall resume, Iād say that any of the Ivies or Williams will be reaches. I think you should definitely focus in on some aspects that separate you from everyone else, such as a unique hook.</p>
