<p>Hey! I'm a prospective 2015er hoping to join Wellesley next fall. I am 100% sure that I'm going to submit my application to Wellesley. After reading so mancy "chance" threads, I just got so very curious... </p>

<p>Here's my particulars:</p>

<p>4 years of O and A levels in Singapore
GPA(estimated): 3.8
SAT Reasoning: CR 760 M 800 W 720
SAT Subject Test: Chemistry 800 Physics 800 Math II 800</p>

<p>Academics:
Studying A level English, Economics, Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry
Research experience in the national university
National medalist in Math and Chemistry
Won a distinction in the American Math Competition
National and intra-school awards in public speaking (Champion in School, bronze award in nationals)</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars:
2 years in Drama Club
2 years playing for the orchestra
2 and a half years in the Student Council
(Organised donation drives for the Earthquake in Haiti and the Hurricanes in South East Asia,
organised and participated in giving free music lessons to kids in a family centre,
organised fun activities for the welfare of students...
along with some other school events, which i will not list down here)</p>

<p>Do I have a chance of being noticed among so many other brilliant applicants? As an international student, will applying for FA largely affect my chances?</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Hi Sherry,</p>

<p>I can’t say what your chances are, but I will say that being an international applicant applying for financial aid definitely impacts your application. It is much much tougher to get in. At least, this was the case some years ago - perhaps it has changed, but I doubt it.</p>
