<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm currently studying Arts and Economics (Majors Advanced French, Politics, Quantitative Economics and Economic History) at the University of Western Australia. My dream is to study in the US but I have no clue if I am a suitable candidate for the universities I wish to apply for (UCLA, UPenn, NYU, Harvard, UChicago, Columbia..).</p>
<p>I did reasonably well at school - A,B,B,B in my final year. At university my average is around 65-70%. I do a lot of extra-curricula stuff and I'm at a very high level at skiing and tennis. I'm also fluent in french, dabble in painting, music and writing. I have two good references from internships (African Governance Initiative and in the House of Commons) I held in London last year. </p>
<p>I wanted to put this list of questions in a few different threads, but I think this one seems the most appropriate :)</p>
<p>Firstly, to be clich</p>
/ also include less prestigious universities… aiming high never hurt anyone but think the only uni i’d have a chance of getting into would be nyu… and that’s still a maybe!</p>
