<p>I no both stanford princeton, havard, cornell are stretches
but I might as well try
which one should I apply early for better chances, Stanford EA or Princeton ED?</p>
<p>Princeton ED will probably give you a better chance than Stanford, just because it's binding so they usually have a higher early acceptance rate than Sford.
But if you like Sford more, then go for it!</p>
<p>I live in california, but I'm not citizen or permanent resident.
So, I guess I'm an international student.....
And I really need that scholarship cuz Stanford's stingy on scholarship for international students...So I'm leaning toward princeton for better financial program and acceptance rate..
What do you guys say about chances for each school I'm applying to?
(I've been thinkin that I would for sure get into CAL, UCLA and UCSD, but i just want to hear from you guys)</p>

<p>What are my chances for: Cal, UCLA, UCSD, Cornell, Stanford, Harvard and Princeton?</p>
<p>P.S: I'm taking TOEFL the day after tomorrow....expecting perfect score
Also, I'm taking physics (maybe AND Spanish) SAT II on OCT and hope to score around 750 on both...
What else can I do to increase my chances?
Thanks alot</p>
<p>because I didn't get enough scores on english sections (verbal and writing) to impress them? Wouldn't that kinda make up for my low SAT1 scores?</p>
<p>What if I am on the process of applying for Green card (a.k.a permanent residence)? Also, I've lived in California for last 4 years and plan to graduate from American high school so I'm eligible for resident fees under AB540 a.k.a Dream Act. Therefore, i don't have to worry about financial issues (my parents can afford $25000 tuition without applyign for scholarships from UCs). Does this make any difference?(the fact that I applied for Green card and the fact that I don't need fin aid from all the other schools except HARVARD, PRINCETON(who are need blinds))</p>
