<p>Hey guys , I really need help on my college list. </p>

<p>I am an international student. I came to the U.S since sophomore year. Now i goes to a Catholic school in CA. I am looking 4 some colleges which are friendly to the international students and near the big cities. I will major in finance/banking or business.</p>

<p>12th (in CA)</p>

<p>AP Calculus

<p>GPA :4.0 (W), 3.89(non-W). rank: 21/148 If I can change the grade of Studio Art, the GPA will be 4.1 (W), 3.9 (non-W). My rank can get into top 10%.</p>

<p>My May SAT score was 1740,math 680, CR 490 (that kills me.),writing 560. I definitely will take the SAT again. My cr score can go up at least 100 and writing will also go up a couple. Hopefully i can get a perfect score on the math. I took SATII Math and chem, math II 740, chem 550. I gonna retake the chem or take bio instead and Chinese in this NOV.I am thinking about taking ACT too.</p>

<p>EC: not much.
FFA, got a chapter discovery degree.
Vasity Soft manager
Golden Heart Club
Asian Experience club
Self-Defense club
honor roll (9-11)</p>

<p>community service:100 hrs. It will be 200 hours when I graduate.</p>

<p>I got awards in most of my class.</p>

<p>Because I transferred a lot, it's hard for me to get a position in a club. Fortunately, I can get started my own club in senior year. </p>

<p>Here is my list.</p>

<p>BU
Clark
Northwestern
NYU
UC-Berkeley
UCLA
UC-santa barbara
UC-San Diego
UIUC
Uni. of Texas -Austin
UW
Uni. of Wisconsin -Madison~</p>

<p>Any suggestions please?? Thanks a lot!<em>^_^</em></p>

<p>Northwestern, NYU, UCB, UCLA, UCSD are reaches</p>

<p>BU, UCSB are matches</p>

<p>I don’t know much about the other schools. good luck:)</p>

<p>Thanks a lot! </p>

<p>any more advice on my chances?</p>

<p>You look good for UT, and I agree with you’llsee’s ranks.</p>

5

<p>I agree with you’ll see</p>

<p>Please chance me</p>

<p>Your UC GPA is only 4.0, despite your great test scores–and that’s because you didn’t get into many honors courses due to moving so much. For that reason, you’ll get a little break on the GPA.</p>

<p>You need about a 1950 SAT to get into UCSD–which, along with UCSB will be your cheapest, yet very good academic, schools. NYU is the best business school on the list that you have good chances at.</p>

<p>Your current SAT will probably still get you into UCSB–but it’s kind of a close thing–so retake those SATs and do well–especially the CR score–and retake the SAT IIs to take the Chinese test</p>

<p>Here are your chances based upon current SAT scores:
UC-Berkeley–Reach
UCLA–Reach
UC-San Diego–Slight Reach
UC-santa barbara–Match
UIUC (Illinois)–Slight Reach
Uni. of Texas -Austin (OOS)–Slight Reach
Univ of Washington–Match
Uni. of Wisconsin -Madison–Match
Boston University–Safe Match
Clark–Safety
Northwestern–Reach
NYU–Slight Reach (SATs are killing you at this school–get them up 100 points to have a good chance here).</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I don’t think Boston U is a safe match, UTexas Austin is a reach and so is UWisconsin Madison.</p>

8

<p>Boston University’s average SAT score is 643/656/655 = 1954 and average GPA is 3.5 (UW). The OPs SAT is 3.8 to 3.9 UW and has a 1740 SAT (very likely to go up) and good ECs, and is international (BU admits 7% international students, but gets less than 7% in applications).</p>

<p>I’ll stick with safe match.</p>

<p>University of Wisconsin’s average SATs are about 611/649/635= 1895, and GPA is 3.68 (UW). I stick with match there.</p>

<p>As for Texas, since OOS is so much harder than in-state, it’s always tough to rate applicants there.</p>

<p>But everyone is entitled to their own opinions, including padfoot–I’m just giving the basis for some of my opinions here.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting~ I really appreciate!</p>

<p>I am taking a SAT prep course in the summer right now. Hope to raise my SAT score at least 150 ( 100 likely on the CR, trying to do 150).</p>
