Thank you for going through! Any advice or comments will be appreciated!!!

I am very worried right now… Any responds and thoughts will help me out much!

Are you from HKG or Guangzhou? Big difference. If you are from Guangzhou you face a bigger competition from mainland Chinese.

But either way your GPA is a bit low. The good news is that your SAT scores are good.

Compared to other internationals your stats are on the lower side. But a lot of the decision making comes down to intangibles. Best of luck.

Thank you for responding! I am from Hong Kong and I currently hold Hong Kong passport. My scores are OK and my GPA is horrible. Do colleges prefer consistency or upward trend? Compare to other Hong Kong / Mainland applicants, is it an advantage for me that I go to school in the US? I know I am asking a lot of questions… I am just overanxious… Thank you again for helping!

I think you have a decent chance for Michigan considering the school you are applying to. I don’t know enough about UNC to say, but its tough for anyone outside the state.

Thank you for responding! What do you think about my chance for UPenn?

I am very worried right now… Any responds and thoughts will help me out much!
