Chance me for Ivies plz

<p>Why aren't you applying to the UK universities? 4As and a B at A-level should get you easily into a redbrick, and a good shot at Oxbridge, for much less than the United States would cost you.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies all.</p>

<p>"You don't get to pick and choose which SAT I/II's colleges see. They see all...that sounds kinda creepy lol."</p>

<p>Yeah, I know. I think they do tend to look at the better score, though.</p>

<p>I am, but I'm a US resident so a) I'll still get some federal aid (hopefully) and b) that's why I've applied only to the top US unis, i.e., I'll still pick Harvard or Yale over LSE or Manchester, if I get accepted to the latter. (For the record, I haven't been successful in my Cambridge application).</p>

<p>I would say that UC Berkeley and Cornell are your best bets.</p>

<p>Mate, I'm from the UK and you have great A levels and GCSEs. The president of Yale recently said that he admired the British A level system and was looking to admit more UK students.</p>

<p>Your scores are perfectly acceptable for Ivy League. The one thing these people got right though was the ECs. Make sure your interests REALLY shine through on your application. It's not like on the UCAS where you can just mention that you like cricket on your personal statement. It's really important - enthusiasm and determination must shine through.</p>
