<p>I was born in Indonesia and attended various schools in U.S. for 7 years. I have no legacies of sort and no other apparent hooks. What are my chances for Princeton, Williams, Cooper Union, Vassar, and UNC chapel hill (in-state)?</p>
<p>GPA: 4.8 W 3.8 UW
Rank: 12/351
ACT: 26 (I know that it's low, please disregard this score until I can bring it up to around 30 or so)
SAT math 2: 780
AP: 1 five, 2 fours, and 2 threes
Extracurricular: band, chess club, environmental club, interact
Volunteer: solid hours at the local planetarium
Work: host/cashier at a restaunrant
Honors: NC Governor's school, summer ventures, all-district band, and numerous school awards</p>
<p>Just for clarification: are you actually applying as an international (F-1) student, or are you a US citizen or permanent resident born abroad?</p>
<p>I am sure you know that even a 30 on the ACT is on the low side for Princeton and Williams - in particular if you are applying with the ACT only. Most students admitted to these colleges submit both ACT and SAT scores.</p>
<p>don’t you need to take another SAT II?
and 3.8 unweighted GPA is a bit low…
assuming that you have solid ECs and boost your ACT to above 33
I guess your chances for Cooper Union will be pretty good.</p>
