<p>I am currently doing the ib diploma(1-7) and have taken one of the most demanding courses in a very prestigious and one of the best schools in my country.
Easily in the top 3 in my class. Highest scorer in the examinations with a respectable 38/42, can be easily improved.
Math hl(higher level) - 7(top 3)(equivalent i think to 95% or 4.25 on GPA)
Physics hl - 7(top 3)
Chem hl - 7(top in class)
Economics sl(standard level) - 7(top in class)
English sl A - 6
Spanish ab intio - 6
Additionally we have to write a 4000 word essay called the extended essay which is basically a research essay which is at a similar level to those that are to be done at the college level. Also, i have a very keen interest in computer science and plan to take up computer engineering, i got a 95% in grade 10 in one of the most demanding(difficult) of courses available. I have learnt the java program on my own and also know a little abou c++.
I have yet to take the SAT, my practice scores suggest a 2200-2350.
My eca's:
part of a business and economics publication
participated in the Habitat for humanity campaign by living in a cardboard box for 17 hours
did time at the Riding for the Disabled
was a part of the chess club at grade 10
regularly play badminton and tennis, part of the school team in badminton
wanna join model united nations(will it be very helpful?).
part of the Radio control club which builds aeroplanes and radio controlled cars</p>

<p>As you can see i have not been too nerdy and at the same time not been too complacent. I think what sets me apart is the fact that i do not learn "as is" but instead like to question whatever i learn. I have proved the physics and math teacher wrong on several occasions and have corrected the chemistry teacher on a few.
So do you think i have a chance?</p>

<p>looks good, but don't let it get to your head</p>

<p>Your ECs need ALOT of work, there is no passion, no concentration. All I see is a whole bunch of one time things. The adcoms are going to laugh at your claims of knowing some language etc without award winning sites. You have next to no chance at admission right know despite impressive IB scores.</p>

<p>i do not understand your "no passion and no concentration?", i had recently changed schools and am doing 11th and 12th grade in my present school, and about a year has passed man.
AT LEAST HELP ME!!!!
i am an internaational student from singapore do you think i get URM status to help me in my application?</p>

<p>asians dont get urm no matter where you are from, the reasoning being that asians are doing well enough without white ppl's help, and just apply even if others think its pathetic, all u hav to do is be 1499/1500 of the applicants and you are in, if you go do something just to show that you have passion, well thats just boring.</p>

<p>ok how did you take the tests already and get grades for all of them, from being an IB student i am fairly sure that HL courses are supposed to be taken in senior year, in your country do you take them a year before you graduate? or are those the predicted grades? and also, ib scores for 11th graders arent even out, assessments are going on right now, so i have no idea how you are getting those grades.</p>
