<p>I am currently a high school junior from VA and wellesley is my #1 choice.
I will be applying early there but i dont think i would get in.
Anyway, here are my stats.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7 uw by the end of my junior year
SAT: taking new one this june
the old sat scores are math 790 verbal 710=1500
SAT2s: taking them this june (math, us history, maybe bio?)</p>

<p>9th grade gpa: 3.9</p>

<p>10th grade: 3.5
AP World 5
AP Stat 4
Spanish 3</p>

<p>11th grade: dunno the official gpa but probably 3.7ish
11th classes (just honors/aps):
AP US history
AP Calc ab
Honors Eng</p>

<p>12th will be taking:
AP govt <-might just take regular govt
AP psy
AP bio
AP lit
AP calc bc</p>

<p>ECs:
Debate (9)

Chamber Soloist for viola (11, and will be doing next yr also)
Senior District (11; its an orchestra program btw)
AYP orchestra
Tutor at Korean school
Yearbook (11,and next yr)</p>

<p>i have to apply as an international student unless i get the green card before this november.
I have lived here for 5 years.
Right now im really depressed b/c i feel like i am gonna get rejected by everywhere.</p>

<p>Other schools I consider to apply are
Cornell (2nd choice)
Uva (parents want me to go there. good school though)
Penn State uni. park (3rd choice)
William&Mary
CMU
Smith
Boston U
UWashington (safety)
JMU (safety)
Rutgers (safety n match)</p>

<p>I visited a college+career center from my school and a lady there told me I wouldnt get in half the choices i listed above. =<
then she recommended really "easy" schools that i havent even heard of.
I worked really hard during my high school years thus I dont think i would get satisfied with those schools.
If i dont get in to wellesley then i have no idea where to go cause cornell is an extreme reach for me. </p>

<p>also another question, is it ture that i wouldnt likely to get in if i ask for fin aid when i am applying as an int student?</p>

<p>Any comments would be helpful.
Thanx!</p>

<p>um... i suggest WashU as not a SAFETY considering it is like one of the hardest school to get into and its a superb school at the prestige of northwestern and MITish. but unless you mean University of Washington then disregard this message. </p>

<p>your stats are pretty good I don't know why you are worried... your soph gpa might be a little tiny shaky but they calculate the total cumulative anyways.. so just keep up the good work and HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF!</p>

<p>I meant university of washington not washu.
As for my soph grade... AP world is what i think that brought my gpa down. Anyway, thanks xokandykyssesox.</p>

<p>Anyone else?
also, would it help if i send a CD record of me playing viola?</p>
