Chance UPenn and other top colleges for Korean Student

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello. I recently discovered that no matter how hard I try, math is just not my strong point (SAT and AP's). It's unsettling, even though I'm already aiming for a communications/liberal arts oriented major. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I was on the right track to get into the colleges I'm aiming for, which are:</p>

<p>UPenn (CAS), Cornell, Brown, Swarthmore, University of Michigan, Princeton, UC Berkley, </p>

<p>Princeton is my dream school, but I realize it's very much a high reach. </p>

<p>Basic Info
- South Korean female
- Junior
- School: highly competitive international school in Korea, send about 10 students to Ivies each year</p>

<p>Academic Info
SAT: 2300 (CR: 800, W: 780, M: 720)
SAT II: 770 World History, 750 Math IIC (planning to retake), reasonably certain of >750 for literature
GPA: 4.00 (unweighted)
Rank: top 10
AP: World History (5), will take 9 more AP's in junior and senior years</p>

<p>Extracurriculars and Other (years are how long I'd have been a member when I graduate)
- Green Club (4 years; Secretary, President)
- NHS (2 years; VP, President)
- Model United Nations (4 years)
- Habitat for Humanity (3 years)
- Global Issues Network (2.5 years, planning to drop this club in senior year to focus on other ecs)
- Electronic Arts Club (founding member, club focused around esports and gaming in a responsible/academic setting)
- National History Day (2012 third place in sectionals, 2013 competition hasn't finished yet but I think we have a good chance at regionals)
- planning to enter some writing competitions (English teacher recommended me) but it's difficult finding international ones for high schoolers</p>

<p>I'm confident in my essays, and I think I stand out a bit more than the "typical STEM-interested Asian," but I'm still considerably worried about whether my stats will get me into top-tier schools. Any advice would be appreciated, will chance back!</p>

<p>What I see is a very bright and motivated person trying to get accepted to a college and wanted to show breadth and strength. It remains to be seen if there is a person with dreams and vision.</p>

<p>I laughed so hard when I looked at both of your usernames.</p>

<p>EDIT: I have to agree with Tiger about the wanting to show breadth and strength comment.</p>
