Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm an international (Vancouver, Canada) looking at US universities. If you could chance me it would be great!</p>

<p>Location: Vancouver, Canada
School: Public, very selective. There's a very rigorous application process, 30 students get selected every year out of 300 applicants.
GPA: 95% junior year. Lower during my freshman and sophomore years (around 91%)
SAT: 2100 CR 740 M 720 W 640 (Decided last minute to take June SATs, going to retake)
SATII: havent taken yet..
APs: School only offers AP Calculus AB, which I'm taking next year. I have taken a very difficult courseload during junior year.. but no APs (eep)</p>

<p>ECs:
Editor in Chief, School Newspaper
Managing Editor for Yearbook
Founded/Co-chair Human Rights Club
Model UN, won a few awards at various conferences
I got chosen to go to Ottawa for a youth forum on journalism last October. A group of us there made a short documentary on diversity that got shown to the Governor General of Canada.</p>

<p>Regular Writer for a student-written newspaper for Western Canada
I've volunteered regularly at a foundation that promotes childhood literacy over the past 3 years.
Camp Leader for children's camps at the Vancouver Aquarium, summer before junior year</p>

<p>Travelling to Guatemala this summer and volunteering there (teaching English to schoolchildren for the most part) for about 2 weeks</p>

<p>Work Experience:
Retail job for over an year until the end of this school year, 20hr/week
Intern/Contributor at Simon Fraser University business paper this summer</p>

<p>I'm looking at:
NYU
Northwestern
Cornell
UC Berkeley

<p>Since you only would have taken 1 AP, I don't know if you have a shot at any Ivies or Berkeley. Probably in at NYU... I don't know if you mean Wesleyan college or Wesleyan University, if you mean the latter, probably in, if you mean the former, definitely in.</p>

<p>Forgot to mention.. Asian as well. Probably makes it harder for me?
Is my lack of APs the only major flaw?</p>

<p>I think so... but you said your school offers only one AP, so I think colleges will understand...</p>

<p>Okay.. thanks for your help!!</p>

<p>As far as I'm concern my friends who were accepted to NYU and UCB and slightly lower stats than you (special regards to gpa and SATs).</p>

<p>are there any other universities i should look at?</p>

<p>Try Vanderbilt, Emory, U Chicago, or WashU at St. Louis, assuming you don't mind the South</p>
