<p>Chance me for these and reccomend any others you think would be good</p>
<p>Black male
Moderately competitive high school in TX. Not many people leave the state to go to college, if they go at all. </p>
<p>Colleges: Cambridge, Imperial College(London), Dartmouth, NYU, Chicago.
GPA: 3.78
SAT: 2350
AP: 5's:Statistics, World History, Environmental Science. Planning to take Physics B&C, Biology, Chemistry, Calculus AB&BC.
IB: English HL, French SL, History HL, Maths SL, Physics HL, Chemistry SL.
SAT II: Biology E/M, Chemistry, Mathematics Lvl 1&2
EC: NHS, Science Society, French Honor Society, Black Historical Society, Academic Quiz League</p>
<p>My main goal has been Cambridge, so I've focused more self-studying for AP and SAT II exams since my transcript and EC's count little if at all there. </p>
<p>With your URM status and very high SAT scores, you are very competitive in all schools. Also, very good class rigor and lots of 5’s. Your ec’s are little weak, but doubt it matters much. What is your class rank?</p>
<p>Excellent shot at all. Have you visited Cambridge? It’s very different from the American college experience. I’d make sure to visit before choosing.</p>
<p>You have a really good shot at anywhere that you apply to nationally but I’m not to sure about international, i don’t really know much about it. But based on stats, i don’t think u should have a problem.
chance me too pls :)</p>
<p>only to reiterate what was said before, obviously you have top notch academic accomplishments, and you’re black. ECs seem average, but you’re a black 2350 with 5s out the wazoo and great class rank. </p>
<p>However, I’m not familiar with Cambridge’s stats, probably because they release very little admissions info. NYU is a safety for you, I think, and you have a solid chance at Dartmouth, and a even better chance at Chicago.</p>
<p>Your grades look really ideal, but some UK universities (like UCL, similar to Imperial) require one year of college/very good AP scores to be accepted there. Since you have all 5s in your APs, you should be ok… but the requirements change with each uni, so I’d be sure to check before applying. </p>
<p>The info below came from UCL’s webpage… I hope it’s useful. Imperial’s webpage didn’t specify the entrance requirements, but from what I’ve learned in my college searches, in the UK they require extremely spectacular academics for the top-tier unis. </p>
<p>“The US High School Graduation Diploma on its own does not satisfy UCL’s general entrance requirement for undergraduate degree programmes. To be eligible for consideration students must have usually obtained passes in four, full year Advanced Placement (AP) examinations at grades 4/5. Alternatively the High School Graduation diploma plus a minimum of 1300/1600 or 1950/2400 in SAT I plus the successful completion of one year at a recognised US university would be considered.”</p>
<p>great scores!!! your gpa needs a little work, but id say your race and your school definitely give you an edge. definitely a strong chance at all national schools. i am not really knowledgeable about anything international.</p>
<p>You definitely have an extremely good chance at American universities, although I’m not sure about your chances for British universities.</p>
<p>Keep in mind the UK does not practice affirmative action (positive discrimination) and you will not have as much as an advantage as you do at American universities.</p>
<p>UK schools including Oxbridge don’t have high standards; they just have different standards. Also, you know that British schools are not need-blind nor do they meet 100% of admitted student’s financial need right? If you need financial aid, then British universities are out of reach; they don’t give financial aid for international students. If you don’t need financial aid, going to Oxbridge (which all students graduate in three years) would actually save you money compared to going to Ivy schools.</p>
<p>I don’t know why you want to go to schools in the UK. When given the choice, most students would choose four year liberal arts education at a top American school over a focused three-year program at Oxbridge. Generally, there’s only one type of students who would choose (or more appropriately described, being forced to accept) Oxbridge, LSE, or other schools in the UK over good American schools: students from upper-middle class who wouldn’t get financial aid at American schools are pressured by their parents to accept schools in the UK in order to save money.</p>
<p>Not many poor or rich kids would go to Oxbridge as internationals because poor kids get financial aid at American schools while rich kids don’t care about wasting $60000 for an extra year of college fun.</p>
