<p>bump!? Any advice, guys? THx a lot!!</p>

<p>You look good, but if you’re an international student, it will be tough.</p>

<p>Maybe have a chance at Yale</p>

<p>OP. It’s interesting to see that from your list of schools that you are staying away from California schools…which has the closest ties to the Pacific Rim countries like China, Korea, Japan…you being an international Chinese…I am shocked you are not applying to Stanford, Caltech, UCBerkeley, Harvey Mudd, or Pomona…especially with your interests…</p>

<p>Californian Schools are waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too competitive for Chinese…Just wanna know something about your views on my chances to my list. Bump!Anyone who can chance me? Will chance back!</p>
