<p>Have some patience…I’m not yet finished reading it…



Haha XD Well, definitely done reading it, and I’m having a tough time absorbing it. You definitely stand a better chance than I do, even if I weren’t an international, </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Wow, dude. Why do you even need us to chance you? Very good.</p>

<p>Your stats are excellent, but so much of what distinguishes one student from another cannot be found in a list of accomplishments, such as yours. One of my favorite Admissions quotes is from a book “What You Don’t Know Can Keep You Out Of College” by Don Dunbar.</p>

<p>“If the Admissions office door has four locks on it, the first two keys are test scores and school record, and the third is a special talent or some other accomplishment or quality. What is the fourth key? It’s “character.” An old fashioned word, it means the way you develop your inner qualities: intellectual passion, maturity, social conscience, concern for community, tolerance and inclusiveness.”</p>

<p>An Admissions Committee learns about your “character” through your teacher’s recommendation letters, as well as your guidance counselor’s SSR Report, and to a lessor extent, your essays. That’s why it’s really impossible to chance anyone. Best of luck to you in the admissions process.</p>
