<p>Hello everyone,
I am going to be a senior
I'm from Burma/ Myanmar
I'm not sure which universities/colleges I could get into with my scores.
I'm Burmese/ Chinese but there are a lot of Burmese/Chinese in my school</p>

<p>I want to study business and politics for undergrad. Maybe studying law if I still continue to study (but it's a very long way left)</p>

<p>Avg. School GPA: 3.4 (kinda low, plus, my GPA has been kinda dropping)
I have A+ to F in my report cards... </p>

<p>SAT: 1870 (Re-taking them in Oct. Planning to get over 2000)
ACT: None
SATIIs: Chem (760), Math (730), World History (660)
APs: AP Chem (3), AP World History (4), AP 2D (still pending)</p>

<p>12th Grade Workload
AP Macro
AP Micro
AP Government and Politics
AP Calculus
Advanced PE
and some classes like English and Theatre</p>

<p>Languages
I speak 4 languages, not common in Myanmar. Like 10% tops in student population.</p>

<p>Community Work</p>

<p>I have over 200+ community work
Internships
MUNs
Yearbook leader
Culture Group Founder/President
Microloans
Global Issues Network</p>

<p>I am pretty talented/good at business/economics but due to politics and culturally inflicted issues in my country, I have not been able to show my true abilities and talents in the read world. </p>

<p>With my not-yet-grown "talent", I want to try to get into a IVY league school but I know that my chance to get accepted would be less than 1% because of my grades. </p>

<p>Frankly, I want to go to US and study at a good university so that when I finish my uni. I want to come back to Burma/Myanmar and help its citizens+government.</p>

<p>Please, help.
Thank you so much</p>

<p>Forgot to add…
Sex: Male
Income: A bit shaggy but if given scholarships, it would be a HUGE help to me.
I haven’t attended any summer schools</p>

<p>I was supposed to chance you a while ago and I didn’t, so I apologize for that. </p>

<p>Being an international with those scores will definitely be tough, but it is possible. Make sure to find schools that offer need to internationals (you’d be surprised at how many don’t). There are a handful that offer 100% aid to internationals and less than a handful that are need blind. You can find all these lists somewhere on the site or online, but I unfortunately don’t have a link to them now.</p>

<p>Here are some schools that I would recommend based on their programs and what I think you could get accepted into, but I have 0 idea of how they treat internationals so you would need to look into that.</p>

<p>Indiana University- Bloomington
Northeastern University
Miami University (Ohio)
James Madison University
Ohio State University </p>

<p>Thank you so much.
I will take a look into those schools.</p>

<p>Elite American institutions are probably out of your league being an international with only decent GPA and scores. Nevertheless, there are some great schools you should look into:</p>

<p>University of Florida
University of Miami
Babson University
Emerson College
Bentley University
University of Rochester</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
