Im an international student living in Montenegro, Eastern Europe. here I go:</p>

<p>SAT - 1860</p>

<p>TOEFL - 115/120</p>

<p>3.9 GPA at school, predicted 4.0 GPA, but I've got 14 subjects in my high school so that's a big dif. english, history, maths, sociology, philosophy, history of religion, russian, serbian, p.e., ethics, logics, civics etc...</p>

<p>National Debate Champion, National representative for World Debating Championship</p>

<p>Class President for three years</p>

<p>I would say ivies are possible. Definitely better shot at bowdoin and bates. Try looking at schools like northeastern, conn college, wake forest, vassar, etc. Good luck!</p>

<p>Please break down your SAT (CR, M, W) and TOEFL (W, R, S, L) scores</p>

4

<p>Columbia - reach (but its a reach for almost everyone)
UNC - reach …very difficult to get into if you’re out of state or international
Richmond - safety/in for sure
Bowdoin - low reach/in
Bates - in</p>

<p>good luck! </p>

<p>i think you have a pretty good chance except you should try to get your sats a little higher</p>

6

<p>SAT’s are really low for Ivies
Chapel Hill is really selective, but your nationality is a major bonus for any college, so…
others you’re in!</p>

7

<p>your international applicant status and extracurriculars help you but your sat score and gpa is on the lower side.
columbia reach, unc reach, bowdoin high match low reach, ivies in general reaches, richmond match
good luck!

<p>i believe Ivy averages are 680 in each, and ATLEAST 650 in each (=min. 1950 score)</p>

<p>do that… and u might just get columbia </p>

<p>The average SAT scores at ivies is about 2200.</p>

<p>The OP don’t mention whether he is full pay or needs aid. The situations are very different depending.</p>
