<p>Hey guys,i'm a brazilian student who hope to study in one of these universities:NYU,HARVARD,COLUMBIA,UPENN,CARNEGIE,CORNELL,UCHICAGO</p>
<p>SAT 1:Didn't take
SAT 2: physics: 800;math 2: 780
ACT:33 (8 on essay)
High School:One of the top schools in Brazil,about 500 seniors(every year 3-4 go to ivies,even tough i'ts not an international school).</p>
<p>We don't have neither APs nor IBs
G.P.A: not calculated(different score system)
Class rank: top 5%(10/200)</p>
<p>EC's:
- N.G.O (Founder): We help poor students to pass on high school's admission exams which provide scholarships(700h+ over two years).We also made an app and put in on google play,to help the biggest number of students that we can(of course,the app is free)</p>
<p>-Robotics National Olympiad club(Founder): Won a bronze medal in the nationals(no state section).</p>
<p>-F1 in Schools(Marketing director of my team): An engineering and entrepeneurship project developed by Formula 1.My team was able to raise about 30000 dollars in advertisings and donations to build the car,portfolio,etc.Second place in the national competition.</p>
<p>-Chess club(Captain for 2 years): Led my school to 2 interschools tournaments gold medals(I live in the biggest city in Brazil,so lots of schools also competing) and 1 silver medal.Also got a lot of achievements as a solo player(some medium city and state tournaments medals)</p>
<p>-Coin collecting (unusual,huh?): Started about 5 years ago and it's a big passion.I assembled a collection which was invited to be presented at municipal,state and even international(Encuentro de Buenos Aires,in Argentina) fairs.</p>
<p>-Research work:Did a paper with some colleagues about non-newtonian fluids which won the school science fair and got us to represent Brazil at LIYSF(London International Youth Science Forum).</p>
<p>-LIYSF:Big international forum(about 50 papers were selected).Was chosen as a top-10 all-event scientific publication(no other prizes available).Just to have an idea,another work selected as a top-10 was the one that won the google science fair this year.</p>
<p>-Student council (lectures organizer): Had to contact lecturers recommended by my coordinator and then oganize all the details of the event(there were other organizers to help me).Was even able to bring to my school some international teachers(one from Russia and other from Oxford).</p>
