Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a student of JAMAICA (I attend the top and most rigorous school in the island) and I would really like to get into one of those universities which I listed above.
Ok so I graduated high school (11th grade) and got all 1's in my csec examinations (highest possible grade)
I also placed 10th in the whole island for History. The subjects I did: History, Spanish, Biology, Math, English Language, Literature, economics, principles of business. so eight subjects in all
My gpa is 3.8 on a 4.0 scale</p>

<p>At school I have been involved in Debate Club for 3 years, and was elected Public relations officer in my last year.
I also co-founded the Leo Club International at my school for which I was Vice President</p>

<p>Currently I am in 12th grade doing the IB diploma. I'm doing History HL, Business HL and Literature HL. My SL's are math, spanish and environmental science</p>

<p>EC's currently: Student council rep, environmental club, choir, Astronomy club founder and president, Debate club founder and president. Outside of school: sailing, certified lifeguard and spent 2 weeks in my summer as an assistant swim teacher. Started a program called Project HELP for tutoring and counseling underprivileged children of an inner city school.
Trying to write a book to get published</p>

<p>SAT reasoning: 2100
doing SAT II's soon </p>

<p>Based on my stats, is there any chance I will get into any of these schools? And which would be the best one to apply to ED? also what are my chances of getting fin. aid...I can't afford to pay more than $3000
If this schools are out of reach for me, any other schools you guys might suggest?</p>

<p>what is your break up of the sat reasoning? and your ethnicity, along with your first language because sometimes, you might be able to explain a low critical reading score on your sat by showing that it isn’t your first language. That is just one example of many things that could possibly happen. also, your expectation of only having to pay 3000 is a very big reach. not impossible, but quite improbable. we need a bit more information </p>

<p>All Ivy schools are a reach based on their acceptance rates for basically anyone applying. You need to plug in your financial information into the college’s financial calculators.</p>

<p>my ethnicity is indian mixed with european, but I figure being from jamaica is diverse as it is right?
Math (700) CR (7100) Writing (7010) (I left off that 10 sorry)
My first language is english… but I understand what you guys are saying. It really is a reach for anyone. Also sometimes their selections can be sort of random in a way (someone you expect to get in being denied and vice-versa)</p>

<p>My reason for applying really is that these schools tend to give sufficient aid to international students</p>

<p>Thanks for responding! @scubadive @‌IAmTheGOAT</p>
