You compare very well to seniors in the U.S., but the problem is, you're not a U.S. citizen/permanent resident (right?). So you will be put in a more competitive applicant pool, especially if you need aid.</p>

8

<p>nope no aid :)</p>

<p>and shoudltn u be cramming for bio mr.chen?</p>

9

<p>In at at least 50 percent of schools you apply. The US needs more Canadians</p>

10

<p>Good chances at all of them, as long as you don't need aid and can get a visa easily.</p>

<p>'National Math Contest Winner- Gauss, Pascal, Hypatia'
Won? As in gold, silver, bronze percentiles or did you get a top 3 nationally plaque?</p>

12

<p>she won district. michelle, i would make that clear. it's a good way to dupe the admissions officers, but for sounding like you're claiming to win a national contest, they might um check up on that.
so here's my real reply:
just retake the SAT's or ACT's (I would pick one and focus on it). If you get at least 2100 you have a shot. if you get above 2200 you're chances are good. If you get >2300, you'll get into most of them. good luck
true that you'll have a hard time getting aid. but you're rather well of anyway... i think? I didn't know you were aiming so high. Many of those you listed don't give merit scholarships. Usually, foreigners go for the merit. consider some other schools?</p>

13

<p>lmao i wasnt trying to dupe anyoen!
i just wrote this all quickly so i didnt know it was so ambiugous...
I would edit it buut ugh ive given up on american schools so screw it
I hate the SATs & ACTs. im going to stay in canada. ughhh</p>

14

<p>wait do u ACTUALLY think universities are gonna liek fone a school al lthe way in canada just to see if i won a "national" award?</p>

<p>LOL im sure they have better things to do???????????
like giving ppl rejection letters</p>

<p>yes, it is possible. Application integrity is a big issue. Many universities will do random checks and call random students' high schools or community service organizations. Or, admissions officers may get suspicious. For instance, if you claim to win a national math contest, and your math test scores are low, they may get suspicious.</p>
