<p>VERY good chance everywhewre</p>

3

<p>Can you elaborate?I mean where did you just come up with that quick opinion? I'm an international and all things work against me, dont they?</p>

4

<p>Whoa. You speak a lot of languages. That's pretty cool.</p>

<p>And yes, international admissions is much more competitive. But I haven't spoken to that many international applicants, so I'm not sure exactly how much more competitive.</p>

<p>Go to <a href="http://www.admissionchances.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.admissionchances.com&lt;/a> or <a href="http://www.************%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.************&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>^ What the heck; why is it starring out the link?</p>

6

<p>What is my weakness? What do I need (or did I need) to improve?</p>

7

<p>I'm just gonna say you should maybe take one more SAT II if possible. You don't really have weakness...you're well rounded. I'd say the only thing that could keep you out is the crapshoot aspect and the fact that you're international.</p>

8

<p>not needing finaid puts him ahead of 75% of the international pool, and im guessing your stats ut you above the last 25%</p>

9

<p>what;s a crapshoot aspect?</p>

10

<p>Crapshoot effect-</p>

<p>Some kids gets in with average stats, while some amazing super-human kids get rejected......</p>

11

<p>bump............</p>

12

<p>Bump Bump Bump</p>

13

<p>This didn't need bumped. You got your chances. Someone else needs a turn.</p>

14

<p>You have no weakness; but you have no exceptional strength either. Thus, admission to top schools cannot be guaranteed. Besides, for schools like Harvard who aim for a well-rounded class (rather than generally well-rounded people), so many science-oriented people apply that they can only accept so many.</p>

15

<p>^^ he knows 5 languages</p>

16

<p>Mm yes, but that would only be a huge strength for a program like Huntsman. Otherwise, he would have to apply his knowledge innovatively in order for it to count as a significant "hook".</p>

17

<p>Well, maybe my opinion is not needed/wanted... but you get it anyway:
5 languages is riddiculous! And you have traveled extensively, so you have cultural experience to back up...everything.
I would say you have a relatively good shot at anywhere.</p>

18

<p>I agree with savoirfaire.</p>

<p>Knowing 5 languages is interesting, and sets you apart from other candidates a bit. But I think you need a larger "hook". A 2230 SAT I is a little low for Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, MIT. Aim for 2300+. </p>

<p>As an international applicant, you're competing against all those applying from your country. Hard stuff.</p>
