<p>I am a rising junior, Asian, female, and I am not a US citizen or resident. I am studying abroad here in US. I go to a Catholic Private High School in New York State. It's a BIG high school (there are about 700 students in each grade). I did think about college before, but now (becoming a junior), this whole college admission thing worries me alot. I really want to go to Swarthmore (but of course Ivy League, Stanford, MIT... are some of my dream schools as well). But I'm nervous and worried because I don't have a strong EC and I am Asian (which I think would make me harder to get accepted to any schools).<br>
Here's a list of things I did until now and please tell me if I have a chance at Swarthmore or Ivy and also any other advice about ECs would be great! :)</p>
