<p>Hi, I’m a student from Australia and I want to apply to these colleges:</p>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>University of Pennsylvania</li>
<li>University of Michigan</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon </li>
<li>NYU</li>
<li>UCLA Berkeley</li>
</ol>
<p>Im planning on completing a Business degree at one of these schools. </p>
<p>Could someone asses my chances on getting into these universities?!?!</p>
<p>Academics
I am currently in Year 11 over here and will be doing SAT I in June this year and SAT II later next year. </p>
<p>Predicted SAT Scores:
SAT I: 2350-2400
SAT II: 2370-2400</p>
<p>Courses:
Our school system is way different over here, but generally our exam (HSC)are IMO twice as hard as American courses and at least on par with GCSE and IB work.</p>
<p>These are the courses I am taking:
**Advanced English <a href=“AP%20Literature%20equivalent%20I%20think…”>/B</a></p>
<p>**Economics<a href=“AP%20Micro%20and%20Macroeconomics%20this%20year,%20harder%20stuff%20next%20year”>/B</a></p>
<p>**Software Design and Development <a href=“focus%20on%20software%20design%20not%20as%20much%20practical%20work%20although%20I%20know%20Java”>/B</a></p>
<p>**4 Unit Mathematics<a href=“Covers%20ALL%20calculus,%20overlaps%20with%20college%20mathematics%20a%20bit%20i%20think,%20since%20we%20do%20Conics,%20Mechanics%20etc.”>/B</a></p>
<p>**Physics<a href=“Harder%20than%20AP%20stuff%20with%20more%20content”>/B</a></p>
<p>I might do AP exams as well</p>
<p>These courses count for 12 Units of work, which is the optimal workload for all students. NOTE: These are EXTREMELY difficult and long courses!!! </p>
<p>My school does not offer an overall ranking for students. But there are 180 students in the grade and I have ALWAYS come in the top five at the end of the year and I have subesquently won certificates and awards for that. I probably will become Dux of my school.</p>
<p>My ranks will be either First or in the top 5 in my school for these subjects, and I will come top ten in the country for at least some of them. </p>
<p>I currently hold a full scholarship at the most prestigious school in Australia, to the tune of $50,000 or so. </p>
<p>I have studied Chinese before, and I could probably get a 4 or 5 in the SAT II Chinese with Listening test. </p>
<p>EC’s</p>
<p>Honors and Awards:
Academic awards relating to end of year class ranking x 3
Prizes and awards for coming first in subjects x 8
Year 10 Science Competition: High Distinction</p>
<p>Athletic Status:
School Basketball - ok
School Soccer - not that good
Martial Arts - planning on doing</p>
<p>Leadership Positions:
President of the Junior Toastmasters Club</p>
<p>Volunteer/Service Work:
School Social Service Programme - worked in school kitchen and nursing homes
Work Experience
Planning on doing more Volunteer work…</p>

<p>Based on these predicted credentials what are my chances of getting into my desired colleges? HOw can I improve my chances? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
