<p>Since I am Malaysian too, I will chance you. :)</p>

<p>I think you are in very good shape for all of your schools, though I have to admit I am not really familiar with the academic system over in Malaysia. Otherwise, your class rank is imperssive and your other credentials seem solid. Good luck!</p>

<p>SAT is VERY low for colleges such as WashU...im not familiar with the rest of the colleges</p>

<p>The Western Australia Certificate is an additional year to make up for the 12th Grade. It is one of the pre-university programs offered in Malaysia.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot of getting into some of these colleges, if you manage to improve your SAT scores. I would recommend applying to more competitive colleges, some of which are need blind like Amherst, Yale, Brown, Macalester, Harvard (Are you applying for first year admission?) Wellesley college</p>
