<p>Hello,
I am an international student in Maryland attending the last year of my high school. Lately I've been stressed out (Who said Senior year is the easiest?!) because of all these SAT's, SAT II's, APs, school works, College apps, and etc..</p>
<p>So far I've narrowed down my list of colleges to:</p>
<p>U of Michigan Ann Arbor
Emory
Boston university
Brown University
Northwestern University
William & Mary
U of Maryland College Park (safety? reach?) - Looking to get into their honors program</p>
<p>And most of these are my REACH schools. </p>
<p>Btw -- I moved to the US about 5 years ago from S Korea and I'm going to let the admission officers be aware of that, if that would give them more background info about me & my academics</p>
<p>Here is an abridged version of my resume.. I'll try to be as detailed as possible</p>

<p>As you see here, I did mess up my sophomore year and i didnt do amazing on my AP tests. (regret it soooooooo much..)
I'm going to be honest on my essays, about how hard it was for me to fit into new community/ school/ culture and how I decided to challenge myself in rigorous english/ social science classes - my weaknesses. (I've had a hard time leveling up with all these elitist kids in these classes... (still is) But i love these subjects)</p>
<p>SAT: M 730 CR 520 W 670 -- Taking it one (if needed, two) more time(s). Goal is to get 700 on CR
SAT Math II: 720
SAT US History: going to take it.
SAT Lit : going to take it.</p>
<p>So, I want to know my chances for those colleges/ universities listed above. I also welcome any college suggestions/ advices, etc.</p>
<p>Sorry for babbling on for so much! Thank you everyone!</p>
