Chance me to HYP and Ivies

Applying to College
1

<p>I am applying as an international student with a 2 year experience in an American high school.
I have done 9th grade in my country, then 2 years of high school in the US, at a good college prep school, where I have graduated from at the end of last year and now I'm back in my country (Eastern Europe) to finish 12th grade and sit the Baccalaureate exam.</p>

<p>During my second year in the US I`ve taken
AP SPanish, AP Calc AB, AP ENG&COMP, taking 5s in all of these.
On my ACT I scored a 35 composite (34, 35s and 36 in each subject)
Got SAT 2s Spanish 730, Math 2 720
GPA is high - around 4
Highest ranked in my class (in my country), the school in the US did not have ranking but I was on high honors, top percent.
Done extracurriculars like volunteering (service trips, organizing blood drives), clubs, tutoring, internships at a financial security company and law office
Fluent in Hungarian, Romanian, English, Spanish (highest Spanish student distinction), intermediate French
Got 108 on my toefl ibt.

Please let me know what you think. Keep in mind I`m applying as an international student looking for financial aid</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>In general no one can really chance you to the ivies especially HYP. You have people getting rejected with perfect SAT 1s and IIs and a 4.0 unweighted GPA. When it comes down to it, the admissions process is subjective and not an exact science. I will point out though that applying as an international student needing financial aid puts you at a Serious (unfortunate) disadvantage…as if the acceptance rates arent low enough already :(</p>

<p>But they say (Harvard especially) they have money for financial aid… and that they are need-blind :frowning: ?</p>

<p>One chance in seven.</p>

<p>I think you do have a chance because you did very well on your ACT, but it is hard to tell with the ivies, can you chance me back</p>
