<p>Hi,
my name is Natalie and I'm gonna graduate from my German high school in May 2010.
I want to major in Intl. Relations or Pre-law or Political Science, and since I already spent a year in the US 2 years ago, I would love to go back, because College life over there just seems more intense and better structured.
Since the system of future students over here is WAY different than over here, I hope that you guys can help me to see how my chances are and where I should apply to, to also get financial Aid, because my parents cant afford paying those amounts of money for school over there.</p>
<p>SO, I'm a pretty good student, my strenghts are languages, I speak 5 languages, because I was brought up bilingual -German and Polish. I know English really well and as I said I already spent a year at a high school in Missouri. In addition, I speak French and Spanish.
- I was class spokesman since 8th grade - so that'S my 6th year now.
- I took part in exchanges to England and France (only 2 weeks each)
- I am in the prom committee
- Good grades at Political Science and History
- Top 5 % of my school
- Going to take part in the simulation of the UN - BERMUN
- will get my certificates in French and English (DELF B1 and CAE C1)
- was part of a theatre group (9-10th grade) also was part in the play while i was in the US
- i am a good singer, I was part of a choir since 9th grade (also in the US), I sing at school concerts and school formals for the parents
-already in 9th grade - internship at a lawyer's office
- I will take my ACT soon, and I think I will score a 27 at least.</p>
<p>All in all, i guess it is not quite a lot, but German schools do not offer clubs like American high schools do, so do you think they will consider that fact? or am i definitely not gonna be admitted anywhere?</p>
<p>Here is the list of schools I want to apply to:
Bates College
Brown
Colgate
Oberlin
Pomona
St. Francis
Stanford
Yale</p>
<p>I would be really thankful if you could help me, because it is really hard for an international student to evalue his or her own skills in the way Americas do.</p>
<p>Thank you !!!</p>
<p>Natalie</p>
