Daughter's chances - somewhat unique education

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>My daughter's stats are as follows:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.81 Unweighted, 3.88 Weighted Top 25%
SAT: 670 CR, 600 Math, 650 Writing
SAT II: None</p>

<p>She has applied to:
USC - Columbia, SC (accepted, early application)
Clemson
Furman
UNC - Chapel Hill</p>

<p>Due to my profession, her schooling includes:
Al-Jubail International School (American/British) - Saudi Arabia (7th & 8th)
Shanghai American School - China (half of 9th & 10th)
St. Aloysis College (all girl Catholic Secondary School) - Ireland (half of 11th)
Attended half 9th & half 11th and will attend all of senior year in public HS in Greenville, SC</p>

<p>The overseas school did not offer any weighted GPA (4.0 was max). Also, slim to no honors/AP/IB below 11th grade. All her grades since returning to the U.S. have been excellent (i.e. 98, 99, 99, 100).</p>

<p>EC's include:</p>

<p>International Thespian Society (China)
APAC Theatre (Asia Pacific Activities Conference) - China
Several Musicals (actress & stage production) - China
Dance Team - China
Newspaper and Yearbook (staff writer) - Greenville, SC
Young Social Innovators Project (Ireland) - volunteer program to help young children
Volunteer at a center for special children (shadow/ assistant to therapist) - Greenville, SC
Law Competition - school sponsored mock trials at Four Courts in Dublin, Ireland
Also, for last 6 months has a part time job (~20hr/wk) at local pharmacy.</p>

<p>Also, any chance for scholarships. We will likely not get financial aid. Lots of "other income" on my earning statements due to expenses my employer paid for foreign assignments (i.e. housing, yearly leave airline tickets, education, leased cars, foreign taxes, etc....).</p>

<p>Just found this forum, so appreciate any input.</p>

<p>FYI... she has not made final decision but it considering majoring in either print journalism and/or pshychology. Scholarships will likely factor into her decision as well.</p>

<p>Clemson: In
Furman: In
UNC-Chapel Hill: Coin flip (international education may put her over the top, but SATs are below many applicants)</p>

<p>Thank you NewEngSocSciMan for the prompt response. My daughter is really concerned about getting into Furman as it is more selective than the other state schools. UNC-Chapel Hill was a shot but because of OOS cost, may not be an option money wise. We're hoping to hear from Clemson very soon.</p>

<p>Any leads on potential scholarships for any of these schools?</p>

<p>Other schools that may be a good fit?</p>

<p>Expatengr, agree with NewEngSocSciMan. Also, College of Charleston may be worth a look. Good luck!</p>
