Chance me please

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi! In 4 years from now (after I finish high school), I want to apply at some universities from US as an international student. Unfortunately, I can apply only at universities with need-blind admission, so i don't have many choices (Harvard, Yale, Amherst, Dartmouth, MIT, Princeton, Deep Springs, Cornell and Georgetown University). Can you tell me the chances of being accepted at one of the given university considering that:</p>

<p>My country doesn't send too much students in US</p>

<p>Only my father has a college degree</p>

<p>My country doesn't use the GPA system, but I expect to get 90-100% of the maximum grade</p>

<p>SAT I: I expect a score of at least 2250</p>

<p>Sat II: unknown</p>

<p>Essays: I expect them to be good, as I have a few persons that can review them</p>

<p>Recommendations: Good</p>

<p>Financial aid: Yes</p>

<p>EC's: Good - it will depend on how many opportunities my high school/town has</p>

<p>I also had a preety hard life, and I stil have - we are 5 family members and only one is employed and our standard of life is low. Maybe this is an advantage? : ))</p>

<p>As I start high school in 1 month, I have plenty of time (all the high school years) to improve my chances. Can you advise me about what should I do? ECs, etc.</p>

<p>Nobody can tell if you are going to get in or not. As of now, you have very little chance because you application is blank.</p>

<p>Ok, how to get into an ivy league school:</p>

<p>1) Get amazing grades
2) Take the hardest classes
3) Get amazing test scores
4) Have leadership roles in your school
5) Be passionate about something
6) WRITE WELL
7) Do sports
8) Be some kind of minority, preferably black or native american</p>

<p>Tyrtle’s telling the truth for most of those points; we need to see an actual application before we could give opinions.</p>
