<p>If you're not a citizen or a permanent resident, you should really look into what kind of policies those colleges have with your citizenship status. At the present, I think you may be treated as an "international student," which might complicate things. I can't say for sure, but it's something to look into.
Otherwise, your stats and scores look very respectable, and are definitely "in the ballpark" for most of your choices.</p>
<p>Being an international student, especially one from east asia, is a HUGE disadvantage. And your SAT scores are not nearly high enough to make you competitive in that pool.</p>
<p>I know a kid who's matriculating at Brown who was deferred and then waitlisted because he didn't have his permanent resident card, a week after he got it, they let him off the waitlist.</p>
<p>That said, I don't think many internationals want UIllinois. The rest of them, even for US residents with your stats, would be reaches. As an international they require big jumps in your scores.</p>
<p>yeah, international is a huge disadvantage for u... maybe try for citizenship or sumthing?</p>
<p>umm... easily in at uillinois... the rest are all really difficult, and considering that youa re an international, they are all a crapshoot, with harvard and the like being even harder than say, CMU</p>
