<p>You are strong applicant, it comes down to luck since the schools have such low acceptance rates and you are an international.</p>

3

<p>thanks for the kind words. yeah I ll see how it goes.</p>

<p>SAT score is on the low side and you’re an international. That’s a bad combination for ivies. But you still have a shot</p>

5

<p>i guess that is all i wanted to hear :smiley: thanks. so as a profile you find it strong enough to be reviewed by them (of course in consideration of the chances of me getting in :stuck_out_tongue: ) ?</p>

<p>It’s tough for anyone. It’s tough for a 2400, 36, 4.0, 5.0, A-Level, IB, AP, perfect ECs, perfect Essay students. </p>

<p>It’s great you’re applying. Of course, you will be considered in their process. I applaud you for applying. You have a chance just like everybody else. You have nothing to lose and the only way someone does not get in is because they do not apply. </p>

<p>Best of Luck</p>
