<p>Hi,
So I really want to apply to one of the Ivy League schools, and I was wondering about my chances... I haven't taken any standardized tests yet, I will do so this October and November, but right now, my IB grades consist of only 6s and 7s; three 7s including ToK, and four 6s. So that would probably add up to about 41 predicted with the ToK and EE, 38 without. Do the SATs play such a significant role in the admissions process? I also have a lot of extracurriculars, as well as being the Head Boy for my school in my junior year (I'm going into my senior year). Extracurricular activities: swimming (100m freestyle winner), basketball, volleyball (coaches award), MUN (delegate, ambassador, chair), and MEP (Model European Parliament, very exclusive and semi official, only students who win nationals have a chance to go, and I was chosen from my school), tech crew for musicals/performances, lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, electronic music production, dj-ing, among others... I will be applying as an international student in need of financial aid... I was born and raised in Turkey and always attended an international school, but i'm not Turkish, and not an American citizen either. Do I have a chance, based on everything listed above? Most of the Ivy League schools have a need-based financial aid system...</p>
<p>I am planning to go into Economics, International Relations and Affairs, or Political Science & Government.</p>
