<p>I recently applied to: NYU, BC, Brandeis, Northwestern, Wellesley, Drexel, Johns Hopkins, American University, Columbia College (Chicago), Vassar, U-Mich and Emerson.</p>
<p>Do you think I have even the slightest chance?</p>
<p>My GPA is 9.4 out of 100
I'm in the top 10% of my class . . . maybe even 5% though I'm not sure because I'm an international and we don't measure class rank where I live.
BTW my school is very competitive and very hard. Possibly the best High School in my country. </p>
<p>SAT I: 1840
Critical Reading: 560
Math: 620
Writing: 660</p>
<p>SAT II:
Literature: 600
World History: 530 </p>
<p>(I know I bombed my SAT's. No need to remind me)</p>
<p>My essays are very strong. I only showed a couple of people but they all had the same opinion, plus I want to major in english and I'm a good writer. </p>
<p>My extra curricular are good too... I write for my high school's news paper, I have been a member of 3 student gov. organizations (and have held positions of leadership), I have a few hours of community service, I have been part of a program that chooses the best students from a certain grade and allows them to work on a project all year (my project was writing a magazine) and for a year I went to a creative writing workshop in my school (where i was the youngest member).</p>
<p>I don't have work experience (my parents won't let me work and even if they did it's not easy finding a job where I live unless you are eighteen) </p>
<p>My honors are all about grades.
Honor roll of best averages for every year almost. </p>
<p>I guess that's about it... </p>
<p>Tell me what you think?</p>
