<p>Don't limit yourself to certain schools (ie. Ivy League)... do some research and look at your options. </p>
<p>For instance, you could think about applying to some Canadian schools. If you have a good enough IB diploma score, most of them are happy with just that. You also wouldn't need to worry as much about having a million ec's and perfect SAT scores, and the schools cost a lot less for a high quality of education. University of Toronto, McGill, and University of British Columbia (UBC) are all outstanding schools with lots of international students.</p>
<p>Look into it. Not going to an Ivy isn't the end of the world.</p>
