For those experts out there...

<p>...chances please :-)</p>

<p>For Georgetown, Middlebury, Bowdoin, Emory, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Tufts, Williams</p>

<p>Thank you!! </p>

<p>Foreign citizenship, but lived in the US for a very long time</p>

<p>SAT: 2240
ACT: 31
SATII: US History 750, World History: 790, Spanish: 800, Biology Molecular: 740, Literature 730
APs: Bio - 5, World History - 5, English Language - 5, German - 5, Spanish - 5, US History - 4
GPA: Some Bs freshman and sophmore year, but straight As junior and senior years...should be a 3. something</p>

<p>Hmm...am I missing something?</p>

<p>What you think youre missing is probably the Extra Curricular activities? Those can help make an even better prediction for you.</p>

<p>lol, I probably left that out subconciously because that's my weak point...</p>

<p>In the course of high school I did a lot of sports, but I don't really show commitment to one...I did Varsity swimming two years, jv sailing two years, track and field (varsity letter) two years, cross country (varsity letter) one year</p>

<p>In my school, if you do sports that doesn't leave a lot of extra time for other extracurriculars (not to mention my heavy junior and senior year courseload)...</p>

<p>All I have to offer is some community service with my church youth group, some minor involvement with the school newspapers, I'm a Senior Representative of Key Club, and a summer internship at the local paper.</p>

<p>Do you need aid? I don't think all of those colleges are need-blind for internationals.</p>

<p>What's your GPA (Weighted & Unweighted) and your class rank?</p>

<p>Georgetown - decent chance
Middlebury-decent chance
Bowdoin-decent chance
Emory-decent chance
Princeton-no chance
Yale-no chance
Columbia-no chance
Tufts-decent chance
Williams-very slim chance</p>

<p>um, I agree with above post except the the ivy league ones. I wouldn't say you have no chance at those three... After all, you do have the sat scores....You probably have to write extraordinary essays or have great interviews though.</p>

<p>^ ^ Agree. You have a shot at all the schools you're applying to.</p>

<p>^ ^ Agree. You have a shot at all the schools you're applying to.</p>

<p>International competition is very competitive, and while the OP is well qualified, people just don't understand how hard it is.</p>

<p>um... The OP never said she was international...she just said she had foreign citizenship. for all i know, she could be a permanent resident...</p>

<p>if she is an international.....well, then tough luck.</p>

<p>Also, you people should realize that international students often have it EASIER. At my international school in South America, kids with 1280s and B+ averages get into UPenn (my brother), UChicago (all his friends), and the like. It's because they normally all pay full-tuition and bring "diversity." I'm not saying international students have it easy at all schools -- I'm specifically saying UChicago and UPenn becauase they're notorious for accepting international students who are underqualified when compared to their American peers.</p>

<p>Lola, intls who can pay full price is different. I was only referring to intl competition being difficult because of the fact that intl need based aid is very hard to get.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input :-)</p>

<p>Yes, as for clarifications about the "international status" - I am a permanent resident in the US, but was born somewhere else and moved here 6 years ago...I am also trilingual.</p>

<p>As for the SAT scores, I like the composite score but when you break it up it's very obvious where my weakness is...</p>

<p>Math - 660</p>

<p>Writing - 780</p>

<p>Critical Reading - 800</p>

<p>That clears things up. You are a permanent resident, and therefore applying domestic.
Georgetown: probably
Middlebury: probably
Bowdoin: probably
Emory: probably
Princeton
Yale --- As for these three, a slim chance but you never know.
Columbia
Tufts: probably
Williams: probably</p>

<p>What is your race? It could help you somewhat. </p>

<p>Woo Hoo!!! 300th post.</p>

<p>a person claims to have foreign citizenship and everyone just assumes that she is an international when she is actually a permanent resident....let's not try to assume and jump to conclusions here, agreed?</p>

<p>and oh yea, I don't think many universities will frown at your math score of 660 when they see your perfect 800 reading and 780 writing....unless you're going to major in engineering or something.</p>

<p>Haha, yeah I don;t intend on doing ANYTHING related to math (grrr...i hate it...)</p>

<p>but anyway, Gryffon5147 I'm Hispanic (from South America)...but I doubt that will really help me...hmm...I hate this waiting process, makes people go crazy</p>

<p>Being Hispanic will help you enormously. It's one of the three major "hooks": Legacy, Recruited Athlete, and Under-represented Minority.</p>

<p>"a person claims to have foreign citizenship and everyone just assumes that she is an international when she is actually a permanent resident....let's not try to assume and jump to conclusions here, agreed?"</p>

<p>What the hell are you talking about? Geez, I'm sure everyone was being latently racist and xenophobic, and only you could sniff it out.</p>
