<p>Your SAT I, and three SAT II scores will determine how you compare to other applicants. Focus on those, and good luck!</p>

<p>As an international, your SAT, SAT II and TOEFL scores are critically important. You need to have those before we can really guess at your chances. You've got some interesting ECs, but the international pool is even tougher than the domestic pool, so your scores will make or break you - as will your grades.</p>
