<p>Schools don’t care about race for international students because they’re all meshed under the same category of non-US citizens. They compare you with people from the same country.</p>
<p>any general comments?</p>

<p>Please don’t abuse the bump. You are qualified and there’s nothing you can do about anything except try your best and see what happens.</p>
<p>any more chances?</p>
<p>The publication thing is impressive. I would say you have as good a shot as any international student, but just remember to apply to some safeties because nothing is guaranteed, especially for a foreigner.</p>
<p>thanks 
any more chances?</p>
<p>No matter how hard you think it is to get into an Ivy, I would say that you should multiply that by two or even three.</p>
<p>The acceptance rates are very low. Plus, these are the stated acceptance rates. If you are not a URM, YOUR acceptance chances will be even lower.</p>
<p>I would recommend that in addition to the Ivies, that you look at some schools just below Ivy level, such as Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, Duke, Georgetown.</p>
<p>Also, take a look at Berkeley and UCLA. They will likely covet someone who can pay full tution, as opposed to in-state tuition.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t say go all out on Ivy’s and MIT. Definitely try your hand at some other privates/safeties. You do however sound very competitive for all the schools you have listed. Good luck!</p>
<p>Chance me back? :P</p>

<p>any more suggestions?</p>
<p>Given your behavior here (repeated bumping after being asked to stop), I do wonder what your recommendations will say about you. If your teachers say you’re self-centered and insensitive, that could keep you out of very selective schools.</p>
