International school
Major : considering either biology or biochemistry. </p>

<p>GPA : uw 3.7 w 3.8 (there is not much difference here, I think it’s because I started taking APs and IBs in junior. my GPA actually improved since freshmen year. I got 3.4 in freshmen 1st semester…)</p>

<p>Overall I think that most of those schools will be reaches or high matches for you. Your extracurriculars aren’t fantastic, though the classes you’re taking now look really strong. I also think your test scores can be improved (if you can get to 2200, great!), though your subject tests are great. Also, since you’re an international student, admissions will be tougher for you. I recommend trying to find some lower safeties, just in case (if not in the US then in your home country).</p>

<p>Well, maybe this is just an excuse but where I’m attending school there is not much opportunity to participate other programs and activities outside the school and even within the school there aren’t many activities to do…</p>

<p>Can you suggest me which can be lower safeties??? I also thought that that list is too risky…</p>
