(A lot of schools? I know)</p>

<p>Academic Interest: Engineering, (business, math)</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT Reasoning:
Super-score: 770 (M); 800 (W); 620 (CR) [2190]
but my highest in one sitting is only 2080 (jan, 2010): 670 (M, i think i filled in the wrong bubbles); 800 (W); 610 (CR)</p>

<p>SAT II:
Math II: 800; Physics: 800; Chemistry: 780; US History: 630;</p>

<p>GPA: 3.95/4.00 (2 B+s,); 4.25 weighted (could've been higher but my 10th grade school didn't offer any honors courses)</p>

<p>APs:
5:Calculus AB; Physics B; Physics C: E-M; Physics C: Mechanics
3: US history</p>

<p>Currently taking:
AP Calc BC, AP Chem; AP Gov/macro-eco; Honors Bio; French II; Bri. Lit; Bible</p>

<p>EC:
XC: Junior- senior year; (varsity)

<p>Honors/Awards:
won American Math Contest among school in both sophomore and junior year;
AP Scholar w/ distinction;
varsity letter.</p>

<p>Essays: Decent, I wrote about my experience overseas, and how it changed me; XC; and engineering.</p>

<p>Recommendations: 1 great from math teacher; 1 ok from ap gov teacher, who is also my XC coach; another from my guidance counselor. </p>

<p>No jobs because Im international. Though Duke deferred me, I didn't have the scored then as I do now. I didn't take the TOFEL test.</p>

<p>It’s gonna be tough because your best scores are math and science and, as an Asian, unfortunately that puts you among many other more competetive applicants. I’d say you have a shot at all of them though</p>

<p>hopkins-match
cornell-most likely in
berkely-might be tough, but you have a shot</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>@xAAAx I think you are right. I was hope being international would help me a bit. </p>

<p>@polaris12 it doesn’t quite seem like you know what you are talking about. </p>

<p>please chance me or leave some comments. Really appreciate it.</p>

5

<p>well apparently they don’t teach manners where you’re from. For future reference, if a person takes the time to chance you, you should appreciate it.</p>

6

<p>i am also having problems with my reading…</p>

<p>If u got deferred ED to DUKE, ur chances at JHU, Cornell and Rice are low</p>

<p>International students have a difficult time in US unless u show great promise, which i think u kind of do.
U’ll prolly get into Berekley if u dont ask for that much financial aid. And the other schools are matches.</p>

<p>Cornell, JHU, Rice - Low Reach</p>

<p>Are u rich or wat, cuz its hard to get aid if u go ED, uncertain financial aid for international students.</p>

8

<p>Thanks for the comments. </p>

<p>Sorry if I seemed rude, polaris12, I havn’t made many posts. Columbia is a hard school to get in, but if you boost your SATs to about 2200-2250, I think you got a solid shot. </p>

<p>JayJay321, I have improve my both SAT1 and SAT2s since I got deferred (I had a 2020), I was hoping that would improve my chances a bit. And please, don’t worry about if I am rich.</p>

9

<p>applying for financial aid or not makes a big difference for international students for schools other than need blind ones.</p>

10

<p>I realize that, and I didn’t apply any aid to any school.</p>

11

<p>if thats the case, ur prolly in at Berekley and other lower schools, and ur a high match for the others, except MIT which wud be a reach - low reach.
Good Job</p>

12

<p>Thank you.</p>

13

<p>bump… bump</p>

14

<p>Good Job,I think you can get in at least 40% schools on your list.</p>
