<p>It is impossible to estimate with such detail, but generally, I would say that those percentages seem close, except Harvard and Yale would be around 5% and Cornell about 10%, IMHO.</p>

<p>Some school weigh FA of internationals in admissions, others do not. That will have an effect. Many schools will be grateful to have you. Best of Luck.</p>
