<p>I just moved from the U.S., to Mexico, where I was attending a top ranked high school (7th or 9th by U.S. News) and I was in the MSE (Math Science and Engineering Program) which meant that I was taking VERY advanced math and physics courses. I finished AP Calculus AB in the 10th grade and AP Physics B just to give you an idea of the level courses I was taking. Unfortunately, here in Mexico, all the best high schools in the country only offer up to Calculus and thats until 12th grade. So right now in the 11th grade, Im taking Precalc (I took it in 9th grade in the U.S. already).</p>
<p>Here are my stats from the U.S.:
AP: Calc AB (5), Physics B(not sure since I moved before getting my score), Environmental (5), U.S. Gov & Politics(5), Macroeconomics(5), World History(4), Spanish(5), English lang. & Composition(5).
ECs: VP of FBLA in 10th grade, Economics club, Got accepted into NHL for 11-12th grade but moved to Mexico, also got accepted into the Spanish honor society for 11-12th grade but moved to Mexico.
SAT: Havent taken them yet, planning on taking the Literature, Physics and Math 2 Subject tests.
Rank (in the high school I was in in the U.S.): 7th, but remember it was a top 10 Public High School in the U.S.
GPA before I moved: 3.996
Sports: None, but now, I'm planning to start tennis the second semester of this school year.</p>
<p>Stats now in Mexico (Tecnologico de Monterrey):
ECs: I'm starting my own club where we'll help foster kids and tutor them in Math, organize blood donations at school for High School and the university students, I'm also starting with this club the School news broadcasts like the kind they have in High schools in the U.S.</p>
<p>Even though the High school I'm in right now is considered the best in the country, as I said, it offers the math and Physics courses I already took in the U.S. I'm applying as an International Student (you guys can probably guess why, even after living in the U.S. for 9 years). I'm in the IB right now. Also, I don't know if this helps but last year, a student not from the IB program at the high school I'm in right now was accepted into MIT which maybe means that MIT understands that more advanced math courses are not offered in Mexico so maybe that means that this doesn't affect their decision. </p>
<p>Unis Im applying to (have to narrow down the list):
Harvey Mudd
Stanford
Caltech
Chicago University
Columbia
Cornell
Duke
NYU
John Hopkins
Rice
Imperial College
Cambridge</p>
<p>The ones below Im definitely applying to as I believe they are need-blind for Mexican Int. Students and the most I would be able to pay is $5,000.
o Harvard
o Princeton University
o Yale University
o Dartmouth College
o Massachusetts Institute of Technology
o Amherst College
o Middlebury College
o Williams College
o UPenn (need-blind only for Mexican, U.S. and Canadian Citizens)</p>

<li><pre><code>O.k. So I basically feel like I ruined my possibilities of getting into an IVY, MIT, Stanford, and Caltech University by moving to Mexico, do you think I still have a chance?

<li><p>Can you guys help me Pick a really food safety school that offer a good math or engineering major? I was thinking maybe Texas A&M? But it has to offer student aid for internationals so preferably a private university.</p></li>
