<p>ALL your ECs and achievements are extremely under-par. You seriously need to reconsider yourself. Being a moderator of some community and having participated in some Olympiad is just not there. Please, find safeties, or find the cure to cancer in these 2 months! </p>
<p>This post should be taken as something from a CCer who doesn't know you, and not as something from a friend who knows you. Please, do not take offense.</p>
<p>Lol... .</p>
<p>Any more comments?</p>
<p>I think I heard from somewhere that your SAT score cannot change by more than 300 points from your last sitting. This is unverified though but may be worth checking out.</p>
<p>While improving your SATs will certainly help, for an international student the top 10% of your class is kind of killer. Most internationals in my area don't apply without making top 1%. If you can really stress your ec's and have a desirable personality (from an adcom's pov) then I think you have an ok chance but not at the top ivies.</p>
<p>Top 1% ... that's a stretch! Top 10% is fine! And since schools don't rank, this top any% is ambiguous enough, so colleges stress more on the course you have taken and how you done well or not in them!</p>
<p>I think you could really use some community service hours, specifically ones that involve your interests.</p>
<p>my school's students are mostly geared towards canadian universities with only the top aiming for ivies. That said, our ib program is actually selective and only admits 60-80 people in our portion of the city which equates to about a population of 700k. Admittedly, a large portion of our applicants are asian and thus would be orm but I think its the fact that even the top students get rejected that discourages everyone else lol. Realistically though, especially for internationals, most applicants are the top 1% of students, making the competition quite tough. Though if your school is very competitive, 10% would be fine, especially if past students have gone to ivies (probably less than 20 students in our entire city are admitted every year lol.</p>
<p>By the way, are you planning to stay in the states after graduation? I would reconsider the lac's if you're planning to work elsewhere. Even the top lac's are unknown outside of the US.</p>
<p>@hollow - how much communityu service can i do, when there's nothing nearby? I'm doing whatever i can :)</p>
<p>@disgradius - Yep, I'm planning to stay, and most likely I'll want to continue into masters.</p>
<p>Yep, and just like adrivit said, as internationals here, we don't have ranking, and in general the best students are just said to be in the top 10%</p>
<p>Anyone else? Don't worry about my level of depth in ECs, I'm deeply into them! Just tell me my probabilities, or else i'll be better off removing some top colleges from my list.</p>
