<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I'm new here. I've already applied, but I just wanted to know my chances at these schools. Here's my info:</p>
<p>SAT I - 2160 (800 CR, 710 W and 650 M)</p>
<p>SAT II - 780 Bio, 710 Lit.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.73 unweighed, 4.00 in Senior Year.</p>
<p>Essays: I think my essays are really good. The main one is about growing up queer in Saudi Arabia and my relationship with my single mother, plus my advocacy for several human rights groups.</p>
<p>The supplemental essays are lighter, but they are more narrative -- I think my humor, in particular, is very good in those.</p>
<p>Recommendations: Excellent ones from my teachers, an okay one from my counselor.</p>
<p>EC's: I've interned at a hospital, two summers in a row, for six weeks each. I remain in contact with the Human Rights Commission Pakistan and have assisted in many cases. I'm a prolific debater; I've won national competitions and an international one (BSME). I won at Harvard MUN, India. I work at an LGBT rights charity. I have performed for various local companies and have won three best actor awards. I paint and have conducted original research on contemporary art in Pakistan. I am submitting an arts supplement. I've been the chief editor of two magazines -- once for my school magazine and the other for a citywide, independent one. I'm also involved in several women's rights organizations and consider myself quite a feminist.</p>
<p>I think my writing is what stands out. I've tried to make my essays imaginative and vivid, with touches of humor and I hope my personality shines through.</p>
<p>I'm applying to these colleges: Amherst College, Connecticut College, Dartmouth College, Grinnell College, Hampshire College, Jacobs University Bremen, Macalester College, Princeton University, Reed College, Sarah Lawrence College, UChicago and Williams college.</p>
<p>I'm also applying for financial aid -- that might be an issue, I feel. I will probably need about 50 - 70% aid. Oh, and I'm a seventeen year old male, international student, and from Pakistan. I know I'll be rejected from about half of these, but I want to know what my safe bets can be -- if there are any.</p>
<p>Thanks for chancing me!</p>
