<p>Hello all !!
I am an Egyptian student ( 16 years old ) and I am neither an american citizen nor a permanent resident ( will be applying as an International student ) to Stanford
Academics :
- SAT : 800 Maths
780 Writing
740 Critical Reading
-7 IGCSE subjects hemistry , Physics , First Language Arabic, English as a second language and ICT ) and scored A* across them all</p>
<ul>
<li>I have completed A-Levels Biology and Math and AS chemistry with grades A*AA</li>
<li>In my senior year, I will be taking an eighth IGCSE subject ( business ) and A2 chem</li>
<li>In a few weeks I will be taking the TOEFL exam</li>
</ul>
<p>I have quite strong extracurricular activities and worked for a few organizations and charity. These include both international and national science and social organizations as well as community service projects. I even participated in protests and the sit-in in Tahrir square during the 25th of jan revolution in Egypt. ( Wish Egyptian people success in their fight for democracy and freedom )</p>
<p>However , I will be applying for financial aid and I know stanford has a need-aware policy but i am determined to get in</p>
<p>Do you think I can make it and what do I need to improve ?</p>
<p>Additionally , I am going to apply to other schools , but since I am also going to need financial aid . the schools must at least allow such aid for international students if not a need-blind policy . However , such schools are top schools and very selective . Do you think I can make the cut for such schools ??</p>
<p>wish me luck !!!!!!</p>
