International Applicant - Nigeria

<p>Guys, i'm kinda frustrated right now cos of the ECs iv com across on this forum. Its not fair on Nigerians as we dont have the chance to partake in most of these activities. As a student, I have tried my best to excel in all the most difficult courses I offer in school. I'm in the top decile in my class. I have also gone for several competitions (olympiad stuff-both nationally and internationally). I am the secretary of the Science Olympiad club in my school. I took the SAT this October and had an 1880. But I'd be retakn during January probably hoping for >2200. Supposing this works out, guysss pls wat r my chances..
+i just took d subject tests by novemba 7. It was kinda cool as i'm expectin a >2200. Pls hit me on my chances.</p>

<p>dis is so not fair…somebody pls save this thread
BUZZZZZZZZ</p>

<p>I’m sure the admissions panel does take into account that you’re from a country that does not have the extra curricular activities that America does. But at the same time, being international makes it a lot harder. You would definitely need to get that SAT score up, so good luck! I say, still apply, you never know how things may work out. Also, you might want to consider applying to a different school within the United States and then maybe transferring.</p>

<p>they get a lotta africans from the north, south africa and ghana as well just fyi.</p>

<p>i’d definitely have to work on my SAT. but i guess MY SAT II would be great, come november 24. that’d definitely be a defining factor. Laets wait and see though
Anyone Else…???</p>
