<p>Hi, I'm from Colombia, I'm really good at school and I'm interested into going to college in the USA, I enjoy debating as well as participating in MUN conferences, I'd like my career to go around these and apparently a major in economics fits my aspirations, I've done some research and I'm really into Columbia and Dartmouth, I have proficiency in Spanish, English and French, I'm getting ready for the SAT's and improving my grades. I'd like you guys to help me around to make up my mind about this. Are these schools okay for my goals? How should I apply? What do I need to do to get more chances of being accepted? etc </p>
<p>Start by doing some reading about Ivy League and competitive college admissions. There are articles on the college confidential main page. There are also pages for international students here. You can see self reported profiles of admitted students in the forum for each college. </p>
