<p>I was going through some chances of chances thread when I found an interesting topic. Also some bunch of idiots arguing it on a fb group.</p>

<p>The topic is that it is certainly true that you've to compete in international level so that you can make it into these schools:</p>

<ol>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Brown</li>
</ol>

<p>and other Ivy league universities.</p>

<p>So, is it possible for internationals to get into top school with no international awards?</p>

<p>What about someone didn't get a lot of chances of competing?
And had to change 2 school in 3 high school years.</p>

<p>No.</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>People like that get into these institutions every single year. Whether you can is something that none of us can predict.</p>

<p>And stay out of fb groups that are full of idiots, lest you become one yourself.</p>

<p>Haha. You’re right. Happymomof1</p>

<p>they seems to be skeptic about admission committee.</p>

<p>‘ECA means what you’ve done outside classroom that you loved’</p>

<p>passion for something is important,isn’t it?</p>

<p>It is true that adcom will understand that you didn’t compete if you didn’t get opportunity.</p>
