<p>Hi I'm a junior and I changed high schools (countries) every year (due to my father's job)

Senior AP course load: Calc BC, Literature, Econ, Chemistry, US History</p>

<p>Sports:
Dance club president and co-president (since I moved schools) (2years)
Dance club member (now) (1 year)
Horse back riding (2 years / no 'club' association so i dont know how i'm going to put this in my application)</p>

<p>EC activities: (in parentheses is the year)

<p>Work Exp: Translator/Intern at a international humanitarian organization (10) - summer</p>

<p>Languages:
DALF C2 (French) (scale goes A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 in increasing difficulty)
DELE B1 (Spanish) - planning to take B2
(I've only learned spanish for about a year so not so good yet :/)
Language Proficiency Test by the TLC (Kiswahili) - Intermediate</p>

<p>I'm really worried about having moved around so much, since my ECs could not be consistent and I wasn't given enough time to rise to "important" positions in each club. I tried to continue what I liked doing in each field no matter what country I went to, but it was a bit hard.. Would moving countries this often be pretty bad for my application? I'm Asian-American btw :/ Do I have a shot at these schools? Thank you!</p>

<p>you’re doing fine…for ivy standards …
you need touching essays and something about your resume or activities that is ‘different’
YOu have an advantage if you use your moving your experiences effectively …You can bring out the the different skills you learnt or people you met while travelling from school to school…You’re good IVYS ARE A CRAPSHOOT …try your best
consider other schools as well you’lle get in</p>

<p>You can get into Cornell/Penn(excluding Wharton)/Brown/Dartmouth for sure.</p>

<p>Also I’d advise you take less SAT IIs, I don’t know what you plan to do, but Spanish probably wouldn’t help, and you would probably be fine just taking chem or bio.</p>
