<p>I absolutely do not wish to squash you dreams…but I am looking at similar schools so I know what the requirement are.</p>
<p>You are at a disadvantage being an international applicant. 11th year stats must be explained well by the counselor, top colleges probably will frown upon it anyway. Good to see that you are in ECs, those will definitely help.</p>
<p>It’s not that you absolutely won’t get it, but the list that you have compiled would all be reach schools with your scores/international status. I would suggest applying to a few other schools in addition to these that you will for sure get in. Your essays must be spectacular to compensate for your lacking scores.</p>
<p>You should also know that as an international student you will qualify for MUCH LESS aid than regular applicants. All the schools you’ve listed are pretty pricey!</p>
<p>I think you have the best chance at Northwestern of all the schools, but definitely apply to some easier ones to ensure that you get admission in the US.</p>
<p>good luck! I’d appreciate if you could chance me in return.</p>
