<p>Hi there, here's my stats and situation - I've just finished high school.</p>
<p>GCSE (first two years of high school): 8A* 3A grades
AS Level (third year of high school): AAB
A2 Level (fourth year of high school): AAAB (However, my teacher has seen a copy of my exam that scored a B grade and believes that it has been marked incorrectly, so is appealing the grade. If this is not successful, I am going to resit this exam in June 2015 so could potentially gain an A* but this would be after being accepted). </p>
<p>So, apparently this gives me a weighted GPA of 4.07? </p>
<p>SAT 1: scored 2300 on a practice test, planning to sit this in November</p>
<p>SAT 2: English Literature (800) and French (790), again planning to sit these in November</p>
<p>ECs & work experience: national team winners of History Balloon Debate, advocating that our historical figure should stay in a sinking balloon. </p>
<p>First triathlon in December 2014, hoping to gain a decent time, similar to that of elites (I've been training for a year now, and I would have done this earlier but I'm a late bloomer to sport in general - but I'm expecting a time for olympic distance of 1 hour 50 minutes). </p>
<p>Worked with a celebrity journalist, transcribing her interviews.</p>
<p>Raised £200+ for Cancer Research through a tutor group charity fundraising challenge.</p>
<p>Sat a qualification which required me to write an extended 5000 word essay, with research and an oral presentation to an audience. Gained an 'A' grade. </p>
<p>Just became an aerobics/step instructor, and I also hold a part time job at a restaurant.</p>
<p>Please be honest with my chances - I'm by no means rich, so to study in the US I'd need to be accepted by a needs-blind school for internationals (Harvard, Yale, Princeton or Amherst). Thanks so much!</p>
