<p>So do you guys think i stand a chance at all? Please be honest</p>
<p>Im probably going to apply to Canadian universities then since they dont care about extracurriculars as much. Plus i wont be required to do SAT’s.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry so much about your ECs. It seems like you’ve done the best you could with your circumstances, and they’re still more impressive than many applicants. It’s going to be a reach because it is for everyone, but you have a solid shot.</p>
<p>Your ECs are solid indeed considering your circumstances. Colleges will take that into consideration. There is no doubt that you have applied yourself in many aspects. Georgetown is a reach, though, as is for everyone - stil, good luck in the whole process.</p>
<p>Do you think staying for another year to complete my a levels will make me a stronger applicant as I can improve my SAT I/II scores? The only reason i am inclined to graduating after 11th grade is because i really want to get out of this country. Or should i stick it for another year and come out with a much better application?</p>
