Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys im an international student from Sri Lanka, but im currently a senior attending the International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) in Malaysia. I plan to study Biology, with a focus on genetics in the near future.</p>

<p>I'm taking 6 IB courses: HL Bio, HL Chem, HL Econ, SL Math, SL French, SL English.
My cumulative GPA is 3.65
SAT I's were 1770. 640CR/570M/560W
Took the SAT II's in december (lit n bio) so i dunno my scores as of yet</p>

<p>Clubs: Key Club, International Club, Athletic Council
Sports: Varsity Soccer (9-12 grade), JV softball (11th grade).
I'm a really competitive soccer player and hope to play in the NCAA (whichever division) at whichever college I go to. I've got an IASAS soccer gold (Intl school sports competition amongst other south east asian schools like ISB from thailand, SAS from singapore, JIS from indonesia, etc.), a S.E.A. soccer gold (club soccer competition amongst other asian countries), and I've played in the Gothia Cup in Sweden which is the world's largest youth soccer tournament.</p>

<p>I've applied to UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, UCB, Santa Clara, Pepperdine, Chapman, U of Redlands, and Occidental College, so as you can see im California bound.</p>

<p>o yeah and i also attended a Leadership Summit at UCLA during the summer.
And I’ve done a lot of community service as well (50+ hrs. In other words I’ve done the IB CAS requirements which includes 50+ hrs of service, 50+ hrs of action and 50+ hrs of creativity too, by taking extra classes such as art etc.)</p>

<p>The SAT score is on the low-end as far as stats for internationals go. What sort of IB score are you looking at? 40+? Compulsory community service as part of IB doesn’t look as good as voluntary community service, but still it sounds like you are making a good contribution.
Your soccer stuff sounds interesting, but beyond that, it’s difficult to say much because a lot will depend on your essays, recs and how well you communicate stuff about yourself in them.</p>
