Hi,
I am an international student willing to study in the US, finance is not an issue, I already have a scholarship and good income, my stats are below and I was wondering if you could help me pick a few colleges to apply too (safety schools, leveled schools etc)
Ethinicy: white
Gender: male
ACT: Did not take, but I believe my score would be 30-33
IELTS: 7.5
GPA: There is not weighted gpa at my school but I believe my gpa is around 3.8-3.9
Recommendation: I can get excellent teacher recs
Work experience: Will be doing 2 weeks of it next month, have worked for 2 years in family’s business
Academics: semi british system school, its private, done my GCSEs a year early, involved in a very rigid schedule and having done the most subjects in class
Class rank: probably like top 3 or something my entire class is 50 however graduating would be 100.
Volunteer: Have like 60 hours of volunteering
ECs:
- Taekwondo for 3 years (Stopped because of a spine injury)
- Swimming for a year
- Student council for 2 years
- Maths tutoring for a year
(my school does not offer many extra curriculars, theres only like 4 clubs which none have intrested me)
Awards:
- 5 excellent awards in a religious competition
- Numerous school awards such as excellent attendance, punctuality, progression and grades.
- Choosen as part of the national training for the team of the country for Taekwondo
(as you can see they are very minimal)
I’m very afraid about the Ec’s tbh they are quite narrow and slim, I want to study accounting and finance in university, I also am planning to start a small business this year and/or continue working with my father, you think that could be used as an extracurricular? Anyways as you can probably tell I am aiming for some top notch schools, nothing like MIT or harvard but you know what I mean. So please help me out <3
