<p>Try to improve your scores because things are a little harder for us, internationals. I don’t know how detrimental will the lack of EC’s be since i don’t know a lot about what the schools you mentioned look for in a candidate, what i know for sure is that your chances increase a lot if you don’t need financial aid. Best of luck to you.

<p>Thanks, and yes, that was my last SAT degree, I just paid for a new one that I will take in november, I hope to increase at least by 1000 points.</p>

<p>I studied french for about two years, english, 6 years, i also participated in a literacy program for the illiterates of my country for about a year… can those be considered EC’s?</p>

<p>Great, if you score 2000+ you should be fine.
Normally an applicant shows leadership, commitment to society and passion through his or her EC’s, so usually they are non-academic activities(except researches, those actually help a lot) that’s why i believe your french and english classes are extracurriculars worth mentioning… but your literacy program does for example.
I want to clarify that i’m not an expert or anything like that, i’m an applicant just like you and i’m giving you my opinion, i hope it is helpful. Good luck.</p>
