I also forgot. I’m an advanced Suzuki violinist. I’ve been taking it for 7 years, and I’m pretty good! I’ve done multiple recitals and have played for large crowds. I’m hoping to graduate into another level by the end of the year.

You have a list of very highly competitive schools. You will need to bring your SAT score up substantially.

By all means apply to these schools. But if studying in the US is truly a priority, also consider some outstanding schools where you have a much better chance of gaining admission, such as Beloit, College of Wooster, Ohio Wesleyan U, Earlham, etc. The Colleges That Change Lives website might be a good place to start.
