Maybe a little late, but chance an international student?

<p>So, I've sent my application to Princeton and 8 other universities, and got rejected by MIT, which is why I started wondering if any of the others would accept me.</p>

<p>Basic stats:
SAT 1 - 590 CR, 800 Math, 730 Writing
SAT 2 - 800 Math 2, 74- Physics
Did not take TOEFL(not required, 4 years at an English speaking school)
5.0 grade average (out of 5.0)
One bronze medal at both the senior and the junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad
One participation in the IMO.
Organizer of a very successful local American Sports Club, with help from the Peace Corps
Numerous awards on national level in Mathematics, Computer Programming and Physics
Representative of Morocco at the national Model United Nations.
Positive recommendation from my interviewer.
Translator from Macedonian to English and vice versa for one summer.(I come from Macedonia, btw)
Recommendation letter from a professor at University Of Houston - Downtown
Attended a camp on leadership skills for one summer.
Tutoring younger members of the school math team for 2 years.</p>

<p>That's pretty much it. I know that these 'chance me' threads might be boring or annoying for some, but I really need an outside opinion if I have a chance at Princeton.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>The CR score is extremely low.
Even though TOEFL is not required, you should have taken it to make up for that outlier.
Honestly, I miss the wow factor in your app, but it may be just me…
You never know how these things happen, it may work out for you. I would not be surprised if you got in.</p>

<p>I thought that the writing score, plus the fact that I am a translator and the recommendation from the prof. at Houston (which btw states that I speak very fluent English) would be enough to prove that I am fully able to read and comprehend the English language without any difficulty. Also, my interviewer praised my English (hopefully he will place that in his report). Do you think that this might be enough to counteract the CR score?
And thanks for the review :D</p>
