Please Help This Confused International!

<p>I'm applying to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and UChicago (in addition to some nonselective schools) and would really appreciate some guidance from people who've gone through the application process for these colleges before. My counselor is not much help and I don't know where else to turn to. If you're willing to answer a couple questions, please let me know. I'd be ever so grateful! Thank you so much!</p>

<p>I have done everything alone since I don’t have a counselor, so maybe I don’t know everything there is to know, but I think I know everything I should know and I’m almost finished with my applications, so I am willing to help you if you want. =)</p>
