<p>Hi guys, I recently found this unique forum while having been surfing online. As many problems confuse my head more and more, I really would appreciate your answers.</p>
<p>Maybe I should give you a biographical overview first.</p>
<p>I am an 18 year old Turkish-German law student immatriculated at one of the nation's best law faculties in my first semestre. However, I struggle with getting my focus on the subject, thus the interest level may be described as rather low. Nevertheless, I visited a course for American law where the dozent gave me exceptional feedback. I always wanted to study in the US but I never really tried to realize my dream. Moreover, I feared that my parent's educational background ( I am the first of my family to ever visit a High School) would be an obstacle. Unfortunately, I only got an overall score of 1,5 in the Abitur (1,0 being the best score) which would be an AAA/ AAB in English educational grading system.</p>
<p>I toy with the idea of applying to reputated universities. Spontaneously, I thought of liberal art colleges such as Amherst, Williams, Wesleyan. I doubt that I could a shot at the leading universities as Harvard or Yale ( with regards to my financial situation).
As a general evaluation, could you give me a feedback about my Abitur grade respectively grades in general (what is a grade to have a shot with)? Are those schools reaches for me?</p>
<p>I hope that I can get answers from you so that I can pose further questions.</p>
<p>Thanking you in advance.</p>
