<p>Hmm I didn't know which forum to post this on, but I think this will do.
Due to certain situations at home, I have to graduate early and I will be a senior next year, instead of a junior. Chance me please(:</p>
<p>international student (perminant resident; Korean; central VA)
4.0 UW and 5.02 W (1st in class so far)
So far I have 1 AP class, AP Biology.
I don't plan on taking TOEFL
SAT's in May (I'm expecting at least 1900 at the lowest)
SAT II June (Math 1,2 and Bio)</p>
<p>EC:
100+ volunteer hours
President/founder of photography club at school
Youth leader of Milal (organization to help disabled people)
Photography (school newspaper, I'm having a gallery next year at school)
Anchor for morning announcements at school
Modeled for high school fashion shows (we have an art specialty school near here)
Mu Alpha Theta
Project Success (organization helping disabled youth- Easter Seals)
LD Debate
MUN</p>
<p>Recommendations will most likely be very solid.</p>
<p>I'm taking English 11 (CP; online) and US History (CP; summer school) over the summer in order to make up for the classes I can't take as a senior.</p>
<p>senior year:
4 AP's (Physics, BC Calc, English, Gov)
2 honors (Web Design& Development, Software Management)
1 CP (Spanish 3). </p>
<p>I probably won't get straight A's next year like I did the past two years just because I don't think I can handle 4 AP's :P</p>
<p>UCB is definitely my top choice, and I'm also looking at UCLA and UVA...and maybe UC Davis. But other than that, I just want to go to California. I thought I had an okay chance at the beginning of the year, but I recently found out I had to graduate early so now I'm not sure..</p>
<p>What chances do I have for getting in to the schools I have mentioned above?
&
Should I take TOEFL?</p>
<p>THANK YOUUUUU!</p>
<p>if your first language is not english then you have to take the TOEFL</p>
<p>oh…i thought you didn’t have to if you’re a resident.</p>
<p>No you dont neccessarily need to take the TOEFL test, most schools (not all, but most) will not require that you take the test if you have had a minimum of 2 years of teaching in english. Which means that if you have gone to a international school where the language spoken in class was english for 2 years or more you are good with out it. </p>
<p>But you aren’t a international student if you live in VA and are Korean, whether you are an international student is defined by your location and not by your nationality. I know this because I am myself american but have not lived in the USA since I was a baby, and so I am considered an international student because I am applying from a different country… if you are applying from VA you are considered a domestic student… and oh, no need to take ant TOEFL test either… :)</p>
<p>ohh, okay, so will my application get in with the regular people? my mom is a resident with a student (f2) visa so i’m marked as a branch off of her, so i dunno whether i’m international or not becuase of that (technically, i’m a citizen of korea)</p>
<p>Your citizenship should not matter, as said before when I asked around about this topic every single admissions office told me that domestic/international status has to do with your location at the time in which you are applying. So if I would have moved back to the Usa before applying (even if it was only for a month) I would suddenly be considered a domestic student. So because you currently ARE in the usa, you should therefore be considered a domestic student… also you are currently attending a US-school, so for you to apply as an international student would just be completely ridiculous… You might still be an “international person” because you are not american, but you live there so that makes you a domestic student…</p>
<p>ohhh okay, haha thanks that kind of makes me less worried about the competition</p>
