<p>Hey, first question gekko, are you applying as international student or permanante residence. I can tell you from experience of my close friends and couzins that you have a extremely high chance of getting into the schools you listed previously if you apply early action as permanante residence( i dont think there is early action for intl students). I think your a suitable candidate, rather than being into sports your more of the conservative club guy whos there to have fun and raise morale/awareness of things. For me id say get a sport in there...im a boxer who loves kids...awkward aint it...sport+helping children...</p>
<p>im also URM(hindu)</p>
<p>also find some valuable contacts...i think your letters of recommendations are going to be superb since ur highly ranked and involved in certain extra curriculars.</p>
<p>Yea, recommendations from City Hall, the School Board, etc.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I cannot apply for permanent residence. =(. </p>
<p>In regards to sports, my friends have always been pushing me to try out for the teams, but my schedule is packed and won't allow much for anything else. Hopefully, I'll be able to free some things up, and join.</p>
