SAT II 2400 (Chem, math, physics)
ACT not avaliable in my country
top 3% in my school (which is best in my country)
O level 9A1+1B3
A level predicted result most likely to be 4A (if unlucky 3A+1B)</p>

team leader in a large-scale fund-raising event ($10.000 raised in 3 months)
orchestra experience for 4yrs
all sorts of different community services with various local voluntary welfare organisations
Executive committee member in one co-curricular activity club
Overseas Student Association public relation committee member
Strong interest in Chinese calligraphy and have won numerous prizes in national competitions
participation in a research programme which is in collaboration with a local university
short-term internship with a local bank
and some not-so-outstanding academic awards (e.g. on math or physics)
participation in several entrepreneurship challenges</p>

<p>schools considered (havn't decided so it is a rather long list)

Upenn
U Chicago
WUSTL

<p>You'd be a competitive applicant at any US college with your stats. You need to do some research to see which colleges would be a good fit. Of the schools on your list, Wellesley and Carleton are LACs, the rest are universities. U Chicago has a different atmosphere from the others. You also need to consider whether you need financial aid. If you do, you need to consider which colleges are need-blind for internationals and whether you need to apply to some less selective colleges.</p>

<p>I heard rumours abt the distinct atmosphere in U chicago. How is it really like?</p>

<p>See, you need to research that before you apply.</p>

<p>UChicago is notorious for a very intellectual student body. They would rather drink wine and eat cheese and discuss Kant than play sports or party. Some people think that UChicago is where fun goes to die. But the kids who go there love the atmosphere.</p>

<p>how much aid do you need?</p>
