<p>I am an international student from Singapore, got a 1910 on my SATs (CR 590, math 660, writing 660), 680 on chem SAT II and 730 on math II. I don't have a GPA but my average score is about a B. English is my native language hence I did not need to take the TOEFL.
My extra-curriculars are concert band and astronomy club, with a good amount of community work. I did quite badly for the last few years of high school as the rigour in my school is quite tough and I usually only do well for the final exams. My recommendations are fine, essays okay too.
What are good safety schools for me? I am looking for schools in the Connecticut, new york, pennsylvania, basically east coast area.
Thanks!</p>
<p>The #1 question is: how much can you afford?
Then: are you a senior applying for Fall 2014 or a junior looking for ideas for Fall 2015?</p>
