<p>The extracurricular activities are lackluster, and your tests are not in the top-most tier. I would not hold my breath on the ivy-league admission. You may have a shot at some of the less competitive Ivies like Cornell, but you had better have some sure bets.</p>
<p>Please don't use your immigrant status as an excuse
it makes the rest of us immigrants look for bad
not to mention it annoys the **** out of people like me</p>
<p>whoa man.....but it IS an excuse......u dont expect me to score 800s on my verbal if i jus immigrated an year ago.....not evry1 is as Special as u are.</p>
<p>It is ridiculous to ask people to give their opinions on your "chances" and then argue with them! This is just opinion! If you want a different opinion, wait till somebody else posts - or else ask your mother!</p>
<p>Dude, there are lots of immigrants out there. Being an immigrant does NOT help you get in anywhere. The US gets around 2.5 million new immigrants every year.</p>
