<p>You can see that most of my ECs are broken down to 9-10 or 11-12. this is because i lived in shanghai for 9-10 grades and went to an international school. one of the best international schools in the world. very rigorous academically. this was a huge transistion for me and wasn't a very successful one academically. my AP Lit. teacher thinks my essay is amazing. it explains my lack of confidence and how i ran away from my struggles by taking part in volunteer work and several ECs. my recs are going to be good. mom suffered psychologically problems in junior year of high school. i always challenged myself and never opted for easy classes. my GPA and SATs suck, but yea. most likely will major in business/econ. if you read this thanks. leave a link for me to chance you. </p>

<p>Colleges:

<p>I don’t know much about the other schools, but i’d say moderate reach for:</p>

<p>Arizona State (guranteed admission)
Oregon State (in state)
Indiana
Purdue (not engineering major)
Texas A&M (not engineering major)</p>

<p>what are you looking to go into?</p>

3

<p>business/econ. wait your saying moderate reach for Arizona State? i thought a 1100/1600 gurantees admission for OOS students?</p>

4

<p>haha sorry, i was hoping the guaranteed admission was implied. that shouldn’t be part of the moderate reach list</p>

5

<p>haha ok. thanks for chancing.</p>

6

<p>all are reaches, but A&M and purdue are lower reaches for you…could you chance me? My title is like EA to notreD/BC/Umich/UIUC</p>

7

<p>Thanks for chancing me…</p>

<p>Ok…you are going to need to write an incredible essay and explain the struggles you have had and hopefully that will offset your gpa/sat’s. </p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot at all but Purdue and the “University of’s”. IMO you are a perfect candidate for the “state” schools!
Good Luck to you! :)</p>

<p>Ur GPA is weak… If it is because of your earlier years, why dont u write some kinda “cover letter” to colleges? I think that would help U</p>

<p>I dont know about other schools, but u are safe to Perdue…</p>

<p>Can you chance mine too? in return…</p>

<p>I am only familiar with NC state because it is near. Just wondering, but what draws you to apply to NC state since you live in Oregon. I would say it is a reach. Your SAT score is about average for NC State if you are not applying to the engineering or design school. If you could explain your low gpa, like play up moving to a different country or something, you may have a chance. Your ECs are very strong so that should help you out. Good luck man but id say a low to medium reach</p>

<p>Your ECs look good, especially the MUN participation - that should bring you up in the eyes of admissions officers. Overcoming an obstacle is something that can benefit you greatly also - you need to emphasize your ability to deal with crises by yourself in you essay and/or interviews. It will help, trust me. Plus you have international background, which is also beneficial.
My situation is similar to yours, also had lots of struggle during my transition from one country into another. Please take a look at my thread:
