<p>I'm a Korean international student studying at a private, independent school in America. It, however, isn't a fancy, well-known boarding school. I've been studying abroad for about 9 years now as a homestay student and I'm lucky enough that I CAN pay for school.
I'm applying to: Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Brown, Michigan, WashU, Emory, Penn State, UMichigan, UIUC, NYU.</p>
<p>SAT: 2240 (CR 760, M 740, W, 740)
SAT2: Math II 730, USH 750
GPA: 3.93/4,52
Rank: School doesn't rank but I'm top 10% out of 65 students
Extra Curriculars:</p>
<ul>
<li>Debate: Team Captain, IE Captain, lots of regional awards</li>
<li>Arts Conservatory Progrm (Theater): VP</li>
<li>Children's Home Society: President, VP</li>
<li>Student Gov: Treasurer, Class Rep.</li>
<li>Job at Flower Shop</li>
<li>Spanish Club: Treasurer, Class Rep. (two years)</li>
<li>Spanish Competition: 2nd in state, lots of regional award</li>
</ul>
<p>Are my chances realistic? I'm a girl with AVERAGE scores sadly and I know that being an international student already
decreases my chances by ALOT...</p>
<p>I'm gonna have a total of 3 B's: 2 from sophomore year, 1 from this senior year
And my essays are pretty decent I would say.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!!!</p>
