LaLaLaLa..Chances!! Please :)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So here's a little about me:</p>

<p>I'm currently a junior, studying in the Netherlands. I'd like to major in either political science or history.
I will be applying for financial aid and I can pay around 15k.</p>

<p>Stats:
GPA: 9/10 (very high for Dutch standards)</p>

<p>SAT's: I don't know yet, but I've been scoring around 2250 on practice tests.</p>

<p>Class rank: 1-3/116</p>

<p>Classes: I've been doing Gymnasium for the last five years, which is as rigorous and prestigious as its gets. I'm taking the maximum amount of classes and my school is one of the best in the Netherlands.</p>

<p>Ec's: They're ok, but could be better: pre-university college at Leiden university (very selective program for 'gifted students'), MUN (student officer and advocate for the ICJ), class president, reference group for the school board (selective), student coucil, school newspaper and 120+ hours of volunteers work and community service.</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Caucasian-Kurdish/Turkish</p>

<p>So what do you think my chances are at:</p>

<p>Columbia
Yale
Princeton
Stanford
Wellesley
Bryn Mawr
Swarthmore
Vassar
Barnard
Amherst</p>

<p>Also, advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks! :)</p>

<p>Tell us whether you are a U.S. citizen, and if not, whether you need aid. Not all of those schools are need-blind for internationals.</p>

<p>I'm not a U.S. citizen and I do need aid. I can for pay ~15k myself.</p>

<p>...Bump:)...</p>

<p>Hmm, what can I say. It looks standard. Maybe too standard. But do apply by all means..you never know!! Do apply and write about your passions.</p>

6

<p>Lol thanks :)
BTW, do you mean (too) standard for every school or just a couple of them?</p>

7

<p>God no.
Not all of them. Some of them. Some of them are clear matches...maybe you arent even standard. Maybe it is the way you listed them...</p>

8

<p>Standard for all. You're aiming for the top. Good luck!</p>

<p>What is your safety?</p>

10

<p>University of Amsterdam, Leiden, Utrecht and pretty much any other public university in the Netherlands. Since I'm a Dutch citizen, I have guaranteed admission to the Dutch universities. As long as I graduate, that is. :)</p>

<p>Anyone else...?</p>
