Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey everyone(: </p>

<p>I'm a student living in Southeast Asia and I was just wondering what my chances are of getting into an Ivy league university. I know Ivy leagues are a reach for anyone. I would like to study medicine. </p>

<p>Academic:
- SAT: 2310 (750 R, 770 W, 790 M)
- Top high school in country, 3.83 GPA, top 5% in class of 1200
- Taking A levels next year, got straight As this year
- Taking H3 Biology next year
- National debate competition, won 3rd place
- Have learnt 3 languages
- Have participated in several national Geography competitions in high school </p>

<p>ECs:
- Peer Support Board (Executive Committee)
- Student's Council
- Red Cross Society
- Angklung Ensemble (Won a Gold award in a national competition)
- Biology Club
- Organized and facilitated an international convention for youth leaders</p>

<p>Community Service:
- Trip to Vietnam to teach English to children there (3 months of preparation and 1 week in Vietnam)
- Initiated a programme within my community to teach piano to less fortunate children. There was 6 months of preparation for the kids before they put up a concert for their parents. </p>

<p>Work Experience:
- Internship at a clinic (1 week)
- Internship at a medical institution (4 weeks)
- Short attachment at a research facility (few days)</p>

<p>Future plans:
- Ambassador for health among youth (I'm really passionate about this)
- Giving free lectures online to A level students (Preparing the curriculum this year and starting the lectures proper next year)</p>

<p>Yup that's about it (: Any idea about my chances?</p>

<p>First off, you have to list some particular schools, unless you’re applying to all of them.</p>

<p>Secondly, I would recommend applying to some easier schools as well. Ivies are reaches for anyone; for international students, they are high reaches for anyone. </p>

<p>Right now I would say that you have a chance. I would try to improve your SAT a little bit (since you’re international), although I admit that it is quite impressive for a non-native speaker. I don’t see any SAT II’s, pretty sure you should take 3 of those. </p>

<p>Your work experience seems minimal. Unless you have something important to talk about with the first and third ones you listed, I would try to only mention them in passing.</p>

<p>i dont know how much of a chance you have especially considering that you’re an international and an asian (or so i assume) who is interested in medicine.</p>

<p>I would recommend looking at schools such as John Hopkins, Washington University in St. Louis, UC Berkeley, Tufts, and UC San Diego. They all have good medical programs and are mostly par with Ivy Leagues in this field to the extent of my knowledge.</p>

<p>best of luck!</p>

<p>I think you could get into 1-2 ivy leagues but theyre so unpredictable. Great stats though.
