<p>Hi, I'm a junior (going up senior this spring) in Japan (a Japanese citizen) and want to go to a LAC.
However, I have done really few EC activities. What are my matches and reaches? Judge me with all those assumptions in consideratioin.</p>
<p>My school is one of the best 10 high schools in Japan.
GPA: Freshman 3.2; Junior 3.5(just assumption); Senior 3.9(just assumption)
SAT: CR 550; Ma 800; Wr 550, World History 750; Biology 750; Math II 800</p>
<p>And what IF I become President of the student government in the senior year?</p>
<p>If none of good LACs are my reaches, I'll go to Tokyo University...</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>bump...
Somebody, please. My EC activities are</p>
<p>Nara talk session : ambassador of school
Class president : 1.5 year
Volunteer : Western Canada Wilderness Committee, 6 days
Taste of Health Festival
Gordon Neighbourhood House, community festival
(not sure if this counts though,)1-month stay in vancouver for language study
Job experience : at the hall for the Great Buddha at Todaiji Temple, some 7 days in total
manual labor at a mall under construction</p>
<p>And.... yeah, that's all I guess.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I suspect it doesn't add up anything significant though, </p>
<p>I was a Music Club member for 1/2 year</p>
<p>Well, your SAT II scores are great but I think you should improve the CR and Writing of your SAT
The President of Student Org is a good extracurri that you should pursue, really :)
What about your ranking ? I think with such great SAT 2 scores, Conncoll would be your ideal college as it does not require SAT 1, Bates, Trincoll and Bowdoin seem to be OK :)</p>
<p>Thank you hlvietlong! I didn't know there were colleges that don't require SAT I. </p>
<p>Any other guys?</p>
<p>That's Connecticut College and Trinity College, both in Connecticut. You might also want to look at Dickinson College, Lehigh, Bucknell, and Lafeyette in Pennsylvania and Case Western in Ohio.</p>
<p>@totziens: there are quite a few colleges without SAT I (but needs TOEFL): Bowdoin, Bates, Hamilton, Brandeis, Trinity College, Connecticut College... They're all top LACs :)
By the way, I accidentally search on this 4rum for Jpnese students as I was seeking help to my Jpnese learning :D Could you help me, totziens ?:D I just don't know where to start and how to learn Jpnese, especially the Writing :D</p>
<p>Now I found out that "WHAT ARE MY REASCHES?" doesn't make any sense, does it!?
I MEANT, WHAT COLLEGES ARE POSSIBLE FOR ME??</p>

<p>please, someone help!!</p>
<p>OMG. You're making Tokyo University sound like your safety...It is so prestigious. It's my biggest dream to study abroad there! </p>
<p>Well, maybe not "biggest". but big enough to be a dream.</p>
<p>No, it is nothing like a safety. I will have to study horribly hard anyway.
I think it's the difference between Japanese and US education that makes us hard to study abroad. It is WAY harder for me to go study at a LAC, even than U of tokyo.</p>
<p>What colleges do you think I can be admitted to?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fairtest.org%5B/url%5D">www.fairtest.org</a> gives a list of schools that dont require the SAT 1.</p>
<p>Thanks! That'll help me a lot.
but... perhaps I need most now is advice on which schools are my matches.... please anyone!</p>
