<p>you definitely have a chance at these schools, although being an international student means that you will be up against a pool of extremely qualified and competitive applicants, so it will be important that you set yourself apart from the rest of the applicants and show how you will bring something unique to the table</p>

<p>also just a quick suggestion, you should try to take an SAT II that relates more to your intended major (poli sci). While your other test scores look good, it might be good to have some sort of history sat ii to show your interest in that subject.</p>

<p>what are your EC? and leadership roles? volunteering? pls update your forum. given your really high SAt scores and solid A- GPA with rigorous AP courses throughout your HS career, solid ranking for Jr year (which is a high increase from sophmore year which will look good to admissions committees) i would say</p>

<p>Northwestern ED match/low reach
U Chicago low reach / reach
Duke low reach
Cornell low reach/
Johns Hopkins low reach/
Washington St. Louis low reach
UC Berkeley match
USC match
NYU high match
UW-madison match</p>
