<p>Okay, I really really want to attend Grinnell College, and have done ED2. Please predict my chances. :)</p>
<p>Gender: Female
Nationaity: Bangladeshi
But I am studying in a boarding school in Hong Kong since 2010. I study in a UWC (United World College), and that should enhance my application, since Grinnell loves UWC students.</p>
<p>Current grades: I'm doing IB. So my predicted grades are:
English A1: 6/7
French: 6/7
Maths SL: 7
Physics HL: 6/7
Chemistry HL: 7
Economics HL: 6/7
Total: 38/42</p>
<p>I have done GCSE O levels before. I got the highest marks in the WORLD in Human Biology, and highest number of A's (11 A's) in Bangladesh.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
I have PLENTY. But here are a few:
1. Leader of Theatre Club of My school
2. Leader of a community service group of my school. We work for an NGO and send goods to the needy in Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Somalia, etc.
3. I have been elected as the science student representative of my school (by teachers and peers).
4. Ran a campaign in Bangladesh in summer, where I ran workshops for 500 volunteers all across the country. We raised awareness for the environment; collected 200kg of wastes (by cleaning streets and lakes) and gave them to the city corporation.
5. Play for my school's soccer and basketball team.
6. Official HK first aider
7. Talented debater. Ranked 8th amonth 168 debaters in a national tournament in Bangladesh.
8. Went to Cambodia for a week, for community service. I worked in a centre for girls rescued from sexual slavery.
9. Taught English and Science (for a week as a volunteer) in a local school in China.
10. Write articles for the national newspaper of Bangladesh
AND MANY MORE</p>
<p>Interview: Had an interview with the Dean of International Recruitment. It was AMAZING. I often ask him questions through e-mails, and get responses very fast.</p>
<p>Essays: I think they are really good.
Recommendations: I think they are really good too.</p>
<p>Problems:
I need substantial financial aid.
SAT scores:
I am bad at standardized testing. Mostly cause I live away from home, in a boarding school (so I am the only one who to look after myself), have tons of school work, and extracurriculars. So I don't get enough time to practice. My scores are not satisfactory at all.
Maths: 660
CR: 590
Wrting: 700</p>
<p>Subject test:
Physics: 700
Maths IIC: 690</p>
<p>So what are my chances? :)</p>
