<p>Our school has a rigorous curriculum and 4.0 GPA is for 90+ average. I have always taken the most challenging courses and have been in the top 3 of my class all the time(top 5%)</p>

<p>ECs: +250 hours of weekend tutoring volunteer
+150 hours volunteer for teaching in summer school
3 week internship in a furnacing and milling factory to learn about the machinary
in high school years, I have been head of academics, discipline, sports and community service departments in the Student Life (leadership skills)

<p>Add. Info.:
- I have had a cut education. Born in the Iranian part of Kurdistan and studied in Perisan. Then moved to Iraqi Kurdistan and studies Kurdish until this international school opened up. I got a scholarship there and studied english for only 6 years from zero level.
-I know four languages: Kurdish, English, Arabic, Persian and know a lot about these cultures and thus help in increasing the cultural diversity.
- I have strong recommendation letters too</p>

<p>I have a full scholarship from the government- if that helps as I heard from someone.
I'm planning for EE major</p>

<p>Please Chance me... I will apply to Stanford, UC berkeley, U Mich ann arbor, carnegie mellon, purdue, princeton and cornell.
If not accepted I will apply to other top-notch state universities whose deadlins extend to march and some to even may.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance... I really need help with this

I will chance you back and sorry if it was long to read</p>

<p>I am an International Student too! Judging by the trends the chances are very low. Do you have any international or national recognition award? Because if you do they help! Not a lot but they do. Also try writing SAT again for a better score.Aim for 2200+.
Also do chance me back!

<p>thank you! but you also know that for example a 2000 from Iraq has a higher chance than a 2200 from india, right?
and I will</p>

4

<p>Yes, you do have a point there. India has a lot of competition!</p>

5

<p>So now that Im from Iraq and have the highest score there and have a full government scholarship, do you think I have a high chance?</p>

6

<p>Not a high chance really! No body can really say anything. It is 50-50. A few more olympiads medals should tilt the balance in your favour.</p>

7

<p>ummm well there are no olympiads and stuff here! I have took every opportunity I have had.
and I forgot about sports. I play basketball and volleyball and have participated in 2 global competitions in lebanon and dubai for basketball</p>

8

<p>That will help. Get recommendations from your coaches!</p>

9

<p>oh and I have 6 IGCSEs with 3 As and 3 A*s and an A in math AS- if tht helps</p>

10

<p>I think you have a decent shot at a school like Purdue, but you would def get into a state school if you choose to apply to any of them.</p>

<p>There is no Kurdistan in Turkey</p>
