Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey all!:)I'm an international student from Singapore, taking A-level in November this year. I'm really fascinated by the idea of liberal arts education in the states and most likely go to one LAC for my undergrad. I'd like to ask for my chances at several schools. Thanks in advance for your help!!!;)</p>

<p>SAT I: 2350(CR 800, MA 800, WR 750)
Superscore 2390
SAT II: 2400(MA, Chem, Phy)
School percentile: 95-98%(my school is one of the top schools in Singapore and we dont have a GPA system)</p>

<p>Varsity rugby team member;
School entrepreneurial club vice-pres;
Hostel student council pres;
School drama production leading role for two years, public showing(great experience for me!);
Have been to Sichuan, China for community work for two weeks and plan to write essay on it;and around 200 hours of community work for other projects
Most selective program in sch;</p>

<p>Various maths competition awards(AMC, AIME, IRML,euclid,etc)
National Chem Olympiad bronze;
Done one maths project and gone for national science fair</p>

<p>I guess that's pretty much I can list down here, though I fully understand the college admission is not a quantifiable process...lol
And here's the school list:</p>

<p>ED: Williams
RD: Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Amherst/Swarthmore/NYUAD/Brown/Dartmouth</p>

<p>Btw I plan to source for college expense somewhere else like getting a scholarship from Singapore companies/gov agencies so I can be considered as fully self-financing.</p>

<p>What are my chances? Thanks again for your feedback!!!:)</p>

<p>All the best everyone:)</p>

<p>You’re international so that’s not helpful…
But you’re stats are so amazing that I can’t see you not make it in to many of those schools.
I’d say you’ll get into Williams ED quite easily.
I think you’d be in to one of HYP, and the others you’d probably get into.
The only small issue is your ECs, which are decent but nothing to “hook” the adcom. But I think your stats will get you through.
Good Luck.</p>

<p>Hey thanks so much for the prompt reply!:slight_smile:
Yeah I guess my ECs won’t make me stand out…but then it’s juz me I guess, who enjoys lots of things but specialize in none…:(</p>

<p>It’s ok man, you’ll definitely get into at least one of the many great schools schools on your list. If you really want to go to Williams and you make that evident in your application (i.e. good supplemental essays and ED) then I think you have a very good chance.</p>

<p>HYP: High Reach (as they are for almost anyone applying from Singapore - unless you are a multi-Olympiad winner, topping your cohort, etc…)
Amherst/Swath/Williams: Low Reach
Dartmouth: High Match</p>

<p>No idea about Brown or NYUAD.</p>

<p>Thx:) but I thought Dartmouth is almost as selective as HYP…</p>
