<p>well i think you have very little chance in yale, williams, middlebury and pomona...these colleges usually take straight As international students...plus their SATs are usually 2100+...oberlin is very good and with good SAT1 and SAT2 u do have a chance....i am not sure if oberlin will accept the decemeber SAT though because you are doing ED there....you definitely have a shot at bates and hamilton...good essays and recs can take you through...i am new to this "chance me" thing here but this is honestly what i think...your extra curicular look impressive and like i said you definitely have a chance at oberlin/bates/hamilton....GOODLUCK!!!!</p>
