<p>You really have a good chance and since ur international ur scores are decent!!! Just write good essays!</p>

3

<p>I'd say Williams is the biggets reach. It's a well balanced list.</p>

4

<p>osmosis, i'm not an international applicant...because i'm american and english is the only language i know fluently. my school is conducted in english... so in that sense i'm not considered international. i'm not a "regular applicant" either..i'm just sorta in my own little category. haha</p>

5

<p>Calz I am an american too and dont live there, I am not applying as an internation but will be treated as 1 (the citizenship will only be usefull for Financial AId)</p>

6

<p>alright cool... are all of your schools having you apply as international? because it seems like most of mine say i'm just a regular applicant..i dont know, it kind of confuses me. </p>

<p>anybody else??!?</p>

7

<p>The difference isn't big. Reaches are raches, matches matches.</p>

8

<p>^^^ what? you mean for intl vs regular applicants..or my schools. if the latter, can you elaborate?thanks</p>

9

<p>Most of the schools I'm applying to defines an International as a student who isnt a US citizen or resident so that means I'm a regular applicant except that I live somewhere else!! That would be an advantage (diversity!!)</p>
