International chances 2011

<p>I'm a real lightweight. </p>

<p>GPA: I'm an international junior (Sweden) but converted my current GPA to 3.6 don't know if its weighted or unweighted. Got 11 subjects left with predicted A's on them.
SAT: 680W 680 V 650M - 2010
SAT II: doing WH and math IC june, US history fall, predicting 680's maybe 700. Most probably going to retake SAT I though.
Rank: N/A but in top 5-10%. Also reading the toughest course load in school.
Ethnicity: Somalian</p>

<p>ECs: only got 3 EC's that I'm really passionate about;
Founder of an ethnic business association (a couple of firms in it)
Founder of a Habitat for Humanity club with 18 members, fundraising up around 13K and traveling to a european country next spring.
Founder and CEO of a tutoring business (just started but expected to have a good history by fall)</p>

<p>Work experience at an asset management firm 300h+</p>

<p>Criticism, anything I should work more on etc. Constructive comments would be highly appreciated.</p>

<p>As an international acceptee, I will comment for your benefit, since no one else seems to have responded.
I would be very surprised if you got accepted with your current predicted stats.
Of course, SATs aren't that crucial, but you should be at least around the 750 mark for all of them, since the international pool is very tough.
You should be pretty much undoubtedly the top student of your school, and have several national and even international level achievements.
American students tend to do more extracurricular activities than international students, I've found, so if you have some, they need to be truly extraordinary, which I personally don't believe yours are.
If you really want to go to a US university, I would advise that you look at safer options than Princeton.</p>

<p>Thank you erickangnz. I'm fairly confident my class rank is in the top 10% and will make sure to find it out more precisely after summer break. I'm also planning to retake at least the SAT I. Can't really do much more after that. Princeton is not the only U I'm applying to in the US (Wharton EA, Harvard, Yale) but my stats will nevertheless be under the average applicant for most of these schools I'm applying to. I do have a "safety school" though but its not located in the US.</p>
