Hi,
I’m an international student from Australia, I was wondering what my chances would be.

GPA: 3.7-3.8
SAT: 1950
Expected ATAR (Australian ranking system): 97-98 meaning I’m in the top 2-3%
Mostly straight a’s occasional b’s, doing hardest subjects available

ECs

  • babysitting
  • tutor
  • mock trials - 2 years
  • debate
  • young mercies (service group)
  • social justice group
  • summer job at finance company
  • chess club
  • volunteering at mercy care child care and also at my local water polo club; coaching and reffing
  • 6 years of water polo out of school: 4 national competitions, 1 pan pacific competition, 1 Europe training camp
  • 5 years of water for school - a grade and honours
  • achievers club for 3 years

I was also accepted into the national youth science forum which is sponsored by rotary club and was chosen out of the 300 students to give the address. They said I was chosen because of my inter personal skills and demeanour.

I don’t need to apply for financial aid, I don’t know if that improves my chances.

Thanks

Your ECs are very good; scores are a bit low IMO (2100+ would have been ideal).

I think you have a shot; however, even if you get in, as an international student w/o financial aid you’d better be prepared to empty your parents’ pockets haha.
