<p>Buuuummmmmp</p>

3

<p>Do you have your predicted scores for IB yet?</p>

4

<p>I think you need to take the SAT. Your ACT scores are subpar for Cornell, IMHO. However, your awards more than make up for the rank and standardized tests, I think.</p>

5

<p>I agree with notanaccount</p>

6

<p>Projected grades:
Ib 20th century topics: B
Ib geography: A

<p>Are you sure about unc and uva? I’m in state for unc.</p>

11

<p>GPA is a little low, but if you can raise it then it’ll help you.
ECs look good, but focus on your leadership positions the most. Emphasize what matters to you the most. </p>

14

<p>cough bump cough</p>

15

<p>Think about retaking the ACT and aim for 29+. Besides Cornell which will be, as you already know, a high reach for you you stand a good chance to get admitted into the other schools you’ve listed. Ec’s are fine and if you don’t screw up your Essays you shouldn’t bother too much. By the way don’t worry about the class rank…</p>

<p>I’d be grateful if you could chance me back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1235498-chance-international-ivies-other-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1235498-chance-international-ivies-other-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
