<p>Hey,
I'm a Korean girl living in Israel and I go to the American International School here.
I'm currently a Junior so I haven't taken my SAT's yet but I am planning to take them this upcoming January and May (and hope to get 2250+).
My dream university is PRINCETON and I really really want to go to that university but after looking at all the resumes in this forum... my self-esteem just... dropped... a lot....
but anyhow! Just to see some of my chances of getting in and also I heard they started to have the single-choice early admissions again (hooray!!) so I wanted to ask how big of a chance I would have to get in with that :)
Since I'm a Junior, my resume isn't complete but here is what I have and here is what I'm planning to do. </p>
