Should I try?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I would like to apply to Yale, Columbia, Princeton (maybe), USC and Champan University.
But... should I?</p>

<p>I'm an international student, so my school system is very different. Anyway the conversion of my GPA I think is 3.62. I study Italian, English, Latin, Ancient Greek, Philosophy, World History, Science, Physics, Maths, and History of art. </p>

<p>I'm planning to get a 2000+ on the SAT and to take SATII, too, in Italian, Latin and Literature (plan: Italian 800, Latin 800, Literature 700+). </p>

<p>Letters are going to be great, I study in a very small school, so teachers like me and I will be the first to go to study in the US ever. Essay won't be a problem as well, 'cause writing has always been my strength and I'm going to work very hard on them. I think I will write about how humanities have chanced me through the years (since I study in a school based on humanities) in the common application. I will send them a creative work of mine, too, a video I made. </p>

<p>I've been captain of the volleyball team for 7 years. I'm the co-creator of a national fan-club of a TV show which I run personally and I organized a national meeting for the members. I have a lot of creative works (especially due to writing) and one is published on line and got more than 30,000 views. I worked as a photographer. Babysitting. Tutor.</p>

<p>Try to get sat to 2200, ecs are good and you have a good story. However, your gpa is low. I would apply to all of them, and a few safeties if money isn’t an issue.</p>

<p>Thanks! I will!
Actually the GPA does worry me the most, but maybe they will consider that my school has a different system? I hope so 'cause it’s a really hard school and I think I couldn’t have much more without going totally crazy. Anyway I will try to improve the SAT and maybe find out some EC to do during this summer, maybe some writing contest.</p>
