<p>I’m not too familiar with international applicants, but you have as good of a chance as anybody.
Good luck on the SAT</p>

<p>You seem like a very strong applicant; your ECs and service are prettty stellar, and if you can reach your estimated test scores that’ll also help. That being said, I really think you should add some more safeties and matches seeing as all of the colleges you are applying to are crapshoots for anybody and everybody. Also, the average SAT scores for all of the colleges you listed are well above 2300 (at least according to Testive). </p>

<p>In conclusion, with the right test scores and noteworthy essays, I think you could gain that marginal edge that’ll get you in at some of the univerisities you’ve listed. But like I said you really need to consider some matches and safeties. </p>

<p>Also please chance me back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1692037-please-chance-me-und-usc-emory-nyu.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1692037-please-chance-me-und-usc-emory-nyu.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
