<p>I am an Korean-Canadian living in Canada. I WILL BE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT APPLYING FOR AID, so please keep that in mind. </p>
<p>Income is around 60 000 dollars (but unstable)
I got to a public high school, who has in the past sent students to Ivy Leagues and has groomed some great talents (some recognized internationally). It is an IB World School.
Full IB Diploma Student, taking the most rigorous courses which include:
IB English HL
IB Math SL/HL (Taking the SL test, in an HL class learning all the HL materials along with it)
IB Chemistry SL (No HL unforunately)
IB Physics HL
IB History HL
Theory of Knowledge 12
English 12 (Same course as english, but the government wants a separate course for statistical reasons. Difference is that English 12 is based on course work, and Provincial Exam, but IB ENglish HL is based on 1/3 coursework 1/3 World Lit 1 Paper and 1/3 IB Final Oral)
Peer Tutoring 12 (I became a peer tutor, and I never knew it was an actual course lmao.)
Band 12 (I'm in 2 bands actually. Senior Jazz Band, and the Community Band (which is connected to the school))</p>

Over 200 hours of volunteering over the summer</p>
<p>Colleges don't care most likely, but I do weight training as a sport (privately with friends, not on an official organization)</p>
<p>SAT Marks:
SAT I: 2270 (800 Writing, 770 Math, 700 Critical Reading)
ACT: n/a

<p>Recommendations:
Sigh, my counselor doesn't want ANYONE going to America, and he keeps making excuses so I don't see him writing the greatest on (he'll write a decent one I believe)
My Chemistry Teacher will write me a good one. I've always been close to him, and I perform over expectations in his class.
My Band teacher has known me for 4 years. He can vouch for my devotion to music, and my hard working ethics, starting a new instrument in senior year, along with another instrument even in grade 12 IB. </p>
<p>College Essay:
My feedbacks have been positive. Except for one genius of a student, who just nitpicked the spacing between a paragraph, he and everyone else likes the idea and likes the flow of the essay. (I wrote about intellectual arrogance, and an epiphany of mine in grade 11)</p>
<p>I am applying to:
Johns Hopkins
Northwestern
University of Chicago
USC
Harvard
Yale
Stanford
Duke
Rice</p>
<p>I am asking for suggestions on universities, and on my chances. If you chance me, I will chance you back (remember to link :) )</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
