Hi,

As you said your intended major is math, I am going to assume you applied to the Weinberg College. I would say that it is much more difficult to get accepted as an international student. However, it is not impossible. I think your standardized tests and grades are defined above par on the expectation of admission. Also. your extracurricular seem to the very good as well. Assuming your recommendations are solid as well, it would really depend on your essay. It needs to be very engaging while revealing something not conveyed in the rest of the application. If you do that, I’m sure that everything will go your way come application time!
