<p>Hi, guys! My name is Mere and I'd like to see my chance for getting into Ivy League schools...
I know it's early since I'm applying to college at the end of this year or in the beginning of the next year.
I'm a Korean girl who moved to the United States exactly 2 years ago.
When I first came to this country, I couldn't say a word in English.
However, I passed all the E.S.L. classes in a year, and right after getting out of E.S.L., I got into a regular Eng class for a semester and then into AP Lang.
I was a straight A student and finished the first semester of my junior year about a month ago, but now I'm currently unschooled for private reasons. I've always taught myself and took the AP exams last year without having taken classes at school, but it was enough for me to get the scores below. I am planning to take more this year!
(I'm turning 19 in 2 months if anyone is interested...)</p>
<p>So, here we are...
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, and (not one of the Ivys, but) Stanford! :)
Please do me a favor!
* I have no need for a scholarship. *
(It'd be greatly appreciated if you could tell me what I can do more to get into one of those schools!)</p>
