<p>bump… anyone? T.T</p>

3

<p>Your r from Singapore?</p>

4

<p>no… i’m asian though :)</p>

5

<p>What’s your prospective major? Try for the schools below Ivies like UMich, UVA, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern etc.</p>

6

<p>So APs are available in your country?</p>

7

<p>@eak325: I’m not sure what I want to major in yet… but definitely not in the sciences…
I am thinking of English literature or econ…
@kidloveit: My school only offers one AP course; the rest is IB… we can take the exam through self-study though :P</p>

8

<p>grade??senior?</p>

<p>i’m a senior now. My gpa for my junior and senior years were both approximately 3.9</p>

10

<p>Not looking too bad for Penn/Brown/Columbia. I think it really depends on your essays now, so make sure you write some kickass ones.</p>

11

<p>oh thanks :slight_smile:
I’m really worried that I dont have any leadership postitions though… i mean nearly :P</p>

12

<p>It will depend on the competition from your country, each school will only take a few. Not needing aid of cour e helps a lot.</p>

13

<p>I think your credentials are excellent for an international student. Schools like to have diversity and the fact that you speak five languages is worthy. If you can pay your way, that’s good too.
I would also consider Dartmouth, Cornell, Williams, Brown and Rice.
Good Luck. You’ll do fine.</p>

14

<p>Scores are good enough, but no real leadership experience from what I can tell…</p>

<p>Also, you should look into the huntsman program at Penn. It’s a very prestigious program that is great for students with a more international background/interest</p>

<p>Thanks for your comments.
I am not going to apply for any FA ; I guess I’ll work hard during the summer :slight_smile:
I’m in South-East Asia but I am not living in my home country…
Also, I am in a pretty competitive school…and I know that ppl from my school are applying to the same college as me.
As astonmartinDBS noted, I don’t have any leadership experience though …
and I don’t play any sports or instruments :P</p>
