<p>I have a GPA of about 3.8/3.9 and I'm confident I'll manage to score above 2350 on the SAT I and above 780 on the SAT IIs, judging by all the pratice tests and such i've taken so far.</p>
<p>However, I have absolutely no ECs.Absolutely nothing. Neither have I taken any AP or Honor classes, whatever they are, probably becuase they don't exist over here.</p>
<p>Do I have any chance at all, to get accepted into any of the Ivy League colleges?</p>
<p>On a different subject - How do you prove, or how do colleges actually check if you've really got a certain EC activity? Like, how are they gonna prove you haven't worked abroad, if you say you did, etc.</p>
<p>What grade are you in? If you're not in junior year, you could do some small ECs, like a cool camp or some volunteer work, though most colleges see through that. Most colleges don't really value ECs that much, though Ivy Leagues schools weigh it more.</p>
<p>I'm currently at the end of my 11th grade, meaning I'll have submitted most of my applications before the beginning of the 12th one I guess, in September.</p>
<p>Oh and, ofcourse I won't lie. But I'm just curious how information like ECs can possibly be checked or confirmed, especially for international students.</p>
<p>Don't write something you didn't do, you may think that they won't be able to prove it---but you never know. That is not a smart thing to do.</p>
<p>ECs are very important, and if you have nothing so far---then yes you have no chance at the Ivies, or most other top colles for that matter. ECs shows that you were a well-rounded student who got involved in the community and at school. I would suggest that you do something this summer and next fall before you subit your application. Whether it be a small club or a small volunteer position, have SOMETHING to write on that application. But yea...I doubt you will get into the Ivies, sorry.</p>
