<p>I'll reply back for your chances (not much of an expert tho)</p>
<p>Objective:</p>
<ul>
<li>SAT I</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Extracurriculars:
Fresh Meadows Chinese School, 9th-12th grade (9,10: Volunteering 11, 12: Top Volunteer [Manager])</li>
</ul>
<p>FMCS is like a tutoring center/school in my neighborhood public school (for learning Chinese and Math/Eng), I volunteered there for all of high school, as a class supervisor, then a teacher, then a manager.</p>
<p>School Paper, 11th-12th</p>
<p>Was the sports writer</p>
<p>Band/Orchestra, 9th-10th</p>
<p>Played Sax</p>
<p>Member of Other School Clubs (A year each):</p>
<p>Cinema Mission
Homeless Help
Design Science</p>
<ul>
<li>Essays: To be honest, I don't think it's that good:</li>
</ul>
<p>Essay is on how I transferred out of Stuy to go to a UN school, and write about my experiences and how its important to have a cultural awareness/ be yourself/ make different friends/ have strong relationships with your teachers.</p>
<p>But my college counselor said it's ok but it's not gripping; my friends and everything say it's a good thing to write about and everything but I'm not confident about it.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Teacher Recommendation: One from chem teacher, one from French teacher, dunno how they end up</p></li>
<li><p>Counselor Rec: Don't know</p></li>
<li><p>Additional Rec: Vg recommendation from FMCS principal</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Other</p>
<ul>
<li>In NYC</li>
<li>School Type: Private, UN School</li>
<li>Ethnicity: Asian</li>
<li>Gender: Male
*Income bracket: don't quite know, probably high (tuition is very high for UN school, but I'm like one of the poorest cuz my parents work at the UN and about 80% of tuition is cut off)
*Hook: Unfortunately, none.....I think</li>
</ul>
<p>Yeah, I don't really have a good idea of my chances, because the IB program isn't common, and my school doesn't use GPA or rankings. I made my list with my college counselor who considered it a "solid" list, but other than that, I really don't have a solid idea.</p>
<p>Strengths: IB Program? School
Weaknesses: I think my extracurriculars could be better, essays will be a weakness I think, SAT Reading score.....</p>
<p>Everything else: I don't know whether my grades are a strength or weakness, b/c the scale is different from the common system.</p>
<p>My List For Now:</p>
<p>Geogetown, JHU, NYU, URochester, Brandeis, BC, Cornell, Columbia, UChicago, Northwestern</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't feel good about alotta these, but NYU and URochester and Brandeis seem like relatively safe choices.</p>
<p>I will willingly replay to everyone else's chances threads. Thanks!</p>
