<p>There you go: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/1205658-do-i-stand-chance-international.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/1205658-do-i-stand-chance-international.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I live in Germany and am going to graduate from a German high school next summer.
I’d be grateful if you could chance me back.</p>

<p>SATs are weak for Stanford, Ivies, etc., and being an international will hurt you if you need aid.</p>

<p>I would say your Toefl & IB are very impressive. If you can get your SAT up to 2200+, you can try. Otherwise, the chance is slim. Stanford is called #0 SCHOOL. The only admits very small number of students each yr. For international students, you must be absolutely outstanding!</p>

<p>bobtheboy, thanks, trying to improve SATs at the moment. i keep hearing so many conflicting things about how much SAT scores matter in contrast to essays and course load, it’s so confusing… no i’m not applying for aid</p>

<p>bei22000, thanks for you reply, I still submitted by REA application, ah well;)</p>

<p>I think i chanced everyone back, if I didn’t please remind me!</p>

<p>ahh sent my app for Stanford REA four days ago!
bump;)</p>

<p>first and last subject tests are tomorrow…
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>

<p>BUMP</p>

<p>bumpbump:P</p>

<p>I’m gonna say very low chances at the Ivies/Stanford considering you’re an international with average/low SAT scores.</p>

<p>okay. how about if i score higher on the december exam?
may i ask why being an international matters?</p>

<p>7.00 (I assume unweighted IB GPA) is very impressive</p>

<p>Good overall accomplishments. SAT is score is average for accepted students to those school except for Stanford. I attended Harvard and Stanford.</p>

<p>Stanford (REA) - possible/reach (40%)
Amherst - 50%
Williams - 50%
Brown - 50%
UPenn - 60%
UMichigan - 85%
NYU -80%
Tufts - 95%
Vassar - 99%</p>

<p>You will get in to a bunch of these places.</p>

<p>thanks for the confidence boost;)</p>

<p>could someone give me advice on what i should focus on now? i’m guessing my IB predicted score wouldn’t matter in these applications, only the UK takes the final scores into account… but then again i should keep my GPA up, but also need to get that SAT score above 2300 in the December test, and of course the supplement essays…</p>

<p>should i make improving SAT scores a priority over GPA and IB?</p>

<p>and more chancing welcomed:)))) thanks!</p>

<p>reading over all the threads so far… seems like the general consensus is that my chances are pretty much low for Stanford…</p>

<p>looking for points of improvement in stats!!! please chance/advise
WILL CHANCE BACK</p>

<p>Due to some changes in my parents’ financial status, i’m now applying to the following schools, ALL requesting FA</p>

<p>Amherst (international need-blind)
Dartmouth (international need-blind)
Williams
Brown
Columbia
Vassar
Tufts</p>

<p>Superscore right now is 2190, essays still great (I think my essays are the strongest part of my application… I’ve always loved to write and my counselor thinks they’re very good too, so Im guessing I’m not just being delusional…). I’m taking the SAT reasoning test for the last time December. Aiming to get above 2300!</p>

<p>Please chance</p>
