<p>I'm an international student wondering about what kind of schools I could have a shot at. Ivies, 2nd tier? etc.</p>

<p>It's probably too early to tell for sure, I've just began grade 11, but let me know what areas I can improve on, thanks!</p>

Rank (not calculated at my school, but approx.): around 10-15%
Highly competitive school
SAT: (waiting for scores) 2200-2400

<p>Too early to tell. But some advice–no more pricey summer programs. Gear up and get accepted to a competitive, free summer program like RSI or TASP, get a job or volunteer. Kids who do the paid for programs are not well received at top colleges.</p>

<p>A bunch of clubs are also not going to help. Take one interest and develop it past the school level.</p>

<p>Thanks hmom5 for the advice, really helps in giving me some sense of direction now! I’ll look into those summer programs.<br>
Any other useful bits of advice, or things I could do to improve my transcript? </p>

<p>And represents school internationally and locally just means that I represent my school competing in sports within the country and outside the country as well, traveling to other places in Asia.</p>
