How to improve my chances?

<p>Hey guys, Im an international student looking to apply for college/university undergraduate program in about 3 years time. As my country has a policy of conscription, I am only able to apply in about 2014. Areas of interest are, Political science, Journalism or Philosophy.</p>

<p>I'm planning to take both SAT and ACT during the course of my conscription. Currently studying to obtain a diploma that specializes in Banking & financial services.</p>

<p>Did the trial paper of SAT just last night and got a score of 1800 after being out of touch of algebra and stuff for 3 years, with 3 more years to go I believe I can brush it up with tuition and practice to maybe about 2000+ range. </p>

<p>I also have University of Cambridge ESOL, CPE if that gives any brownie points.</p>

<p>My extra-curricular activities aren't exactly stellar, I've shunned leadership roles when offered. The ones I have under my belt are mostly events based such as,
-Emceeing
-Camp facilitation
-Public speaking
-Debating
-Collaboration with police force to promote awareness </p>

<p>All free and easy roles.</p>

<p>With working experience at :
-Citibank N.A. (Intern)
-Free-lance camp facilitators for camp organizing companies</p>

<p>Looking to add more but can't find any related to political science.</p>

<p>Any help, positive or negative would be greatly appreciated and go along way in aiding me.</p>
