<p>Hi everyone! I'm a senior (asian, female) and I would really appreciate it if you could chance me for some of the colleges that I want to go to. Currently, some of the ones on my list are Wellesley, Barnard, Cornell, UCB, UCLA, and UCSD. I'm planning on selecting 'undecided' for majors, as I don't know what to do yet.</p>
<p>Also, I transferred schools just before senior year, from a competitive international school overseas to an equally competitive school in NJ. My counselor told me to explain the situation on the common app, so hopefully that won't affect my chances too much...</p>
<p>Stats:</p>

<li><p>SAT II: 800 (Biology E)
Planning on taking World History/Math 2/Chinese in Dec. depending on situation</p></li>

<p>Not sure about recs and essays - one teacher likes me, the other is alright about me but she thinks I'm hardworking. Essays should be alright as well, definitely not too bad but I still have to see if I can make them stand out.</p>
<p>Thank you guys so much for looking over this! I'm very stressed out right now so it would really help if I got some advice from CC :)</p>
