Chances for an international student (please, pretty please?)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello. This is my third and last year in a US high school, and I would be grateful if you could tell me how my college list looks. I think it has too many long shots, does it?
GPA: 3.4/4.0
SAT: 640 math, 700 reading, 740 writing (will take it for the 2nd time this October)
ECs: 2 years of Model UN, 3 years of Drama club (2nd year of being treasurer), minor roles in every school play/musical, 3 years of choir, 24 hours/year of community service, International Thespian Society member
APs: junior year- Biology & APUSH, both are "4"-s; this year: Comparative Government, Calc BC, and Econ- everything seems to be in the 4/5 range so far
My school does not report the rank. Oh, and I am a caucasian female. So:
BU
Loyola Chicago
Northwestern Univ
Seattle Univ
U of Rochester
Pitzer College
U of Washington
New York U
U of MA Amherst
Macalester College
Reed
Smith College
My parents really want me to add some higher-ranking schools to the list (like U of Chicago, yeah right :rolleyes: ), but I feel like it is already very far-reaching. Please advise? Please!!!</p>

<p>How do you do in terms of your class? Even if your counselor does not report rank he/she has to report the highest GPA in your class and if you are fairly close to it then it could help. </p>

<p>Chicago would be very difficult for you. If you decide to apply you take their challenge and really focus on your essays. </p>

<p>I’d say Northwestern and possible Smith are reaches for you, though not completely impossible, and the rest is a good mix of matches/safetys. </p>

<p>Do you mind chancing a fellow international? :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1208758-chance-international-brown-georgetown-tufts-etc.html#post13190963[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1208758-chance-international-brown-georgetown-tufts-etc.html#post13190963&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
