My Chance as an International Student

<p>Hi. I'm an international junior student in Frankfurt (I went to an American School of Warsaw from 7th grade to 10th grade) and I'm taking IB Diploma program right now.</p>

<p>My Curriculum is right now: (with IB Grades)</p>

<p>English A1 SL - 6
Math HL - 7
Physics HL - 7
Computer Science HL - 7
World History SL - 5
German B Level - 5</p>

<p>My SAT Score is </p>

<p>CR: 700, Math: 800, Writing: 720</p>

<p>SAT II Scores</p>

<p>Math level 2: 800, Physics: 770, Chemistry: 690 (I only took one-year chemistry course in 10th grade)</p>

<p>Extra Curriculums are: Jazz Band Player, Newspaper Editor, Cross-Country Varisty Runner, Softball Varisity, Math Team (from middle school to 11th grade), Maintaining the whole flower Garden for Disabled German people (tough work.. ~_~ ), etc.</p>

<p>My talent would be math and other right-brain activities, as I won AMC 8,10,12 every year in my school and also got gold in British Math Olympic (I don't remember the exact name). I also participated in Western European Math Competition and got like 11th place as I competed with seniors and juniors. (Last Year, I got 4th place in Junior competition)</p>

<p>I'm thinking about majoring in Computer Enginnering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or Math. I haven't really decided about that yet. </p>

<p>Reaches: MIT, Stanford, U Calif Berkerly</p>

<p>Matches: Carnegie Mellon U, Northwestern U IL, Cornell U, John Hopkins U, Rice U</p>

<p>Safeties: U Illinois Urbana, U Michigan, U Wis Madison</p>

<p>Can you give me some advices or comments on chances in my college list? You're of course welcome to recommend other colleges that you might think it will suit to me.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading my thread. :)</p>

<p>P.S: I'm used to the enviornment in Germany and Poland. Do you think Texas or California will be too hot place for me? :p</p>

<p>Bump Up....</p>

<p>...bump....</p>

<p>Your math competition things (or so my dad says) will get you in.
Man, I wish I had those..<em>sniff</em> <em>sniff</em> because I'm an international student too. :)
My dad's always hurting me because I didn't place in the statewide math competiton for like, 2 years now. <em>sigh</em> But I can never think when I'm there....
Anyway, I think you have a really good chance at MIT, CalTech because they don't look at your status as an International Student and they really emphasize math competitions and so on. </p>

<p>Let me know what happens, okay?</p>
