<p>Hi guys, I'm an international student (out of states) in Seoul, South Korea. I used to live in Gainesville, Florida, but no residency nor citizenship so no benefit :(</p>

<p>I'm a junior and I'm just really worried and curious about my chances at these colleges:</p>

<p>University of Michigan Ann Arbor
McGill University
Notre Dame University
University of Illinois Urbana Campaign
University of Maryland College Park
for now...</p>

<p>My High School:</p>

<p>Freshmen GPA: 3.0
Sophomore GPA: 3.0
Junior GPA: around 3.4-3.5 for 1st semester but I'm aiming for a 4.0 2nd semester
Senior GPA: aiming for 4.1 - 4.2 GPA 1st semester...</p>

<p>I know my freshmen and sophore GPAs are terrible...I messed up.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Varsity Tennis: 7th - 12th grade
11th - 12th grade Captain</p>

<p>BPC (FBLA) Business Club: 11th - 12th grade
11th grade Secretary
12th grade...likely President or another position</p>

<p>UNICEF: 9th - 10th grade
club changed to The Supply</p>

<p>The Supply: 11th - 12th grade
likely a position for 12th grade</p>

<p>MVP Tennis 9th - 12th grade
All Conference 9th - 12th grade</p>

<p>Community Service: 2 hours/week</p>

<p>TPL (type of community service) Teach Play Love: 5 hours/week</p>

<p>Volunteer:</p>

<p>The Supply Kenya Trip
250 hours of volunteer service
Presidential Volunteer Service Award</p>

<p>Sadly, the gpa scale here is:
98-100 A+ 4.00/5.00 AP
94-96 A 3.67/4.67 AP and so on...
92-93 B+ 3.33
86-91 B 3.00
and so on...its really hard</p>

<p>I was hoping for helpful feedback and any advice? It would really mean a lot! Thanks guys! Also, if you guys have any other college suggestions that are ranked...or around the colleges I mentioned?</p>

<p>I'm thinking about majoring in either psychology, business, sports-related stuff, for now...
THANKS GUYS :)</p>

<p>Your best bet for these schools are that these schools recalculate a GPA with an easier scale. However, taking the GPA at face value would put you at 3.36.</p>

<p>UIUC: Score 28+ on the ACT or 1950+ on the SAT</p>

<p>UMD: Score 28+ on the ACT or 1950+ on the SAT</p>

<p>McGill: Reach; score 30+ on the ACT and get at least 26+ on each subscore, on top of that, hope that the school will raise it given the overly hard grading scale, then it will no longer be a reach. Alternatively, score 2000+ on the SAT (650+ on each subscore) and 650+ on two SAT II subject tests</p>

<p>UMI: Reach
ND: Reach</p>
