<p>I think you are a "possible match" for all those schools.</p>

3

<p>rejected at all</p>

4

<p>slim chance if you were applying as a US resident, no chance since you're an international unless you have some olympiad medals or something but then I think you would have mentioned them</p>

5

<p>I don't know how anyone could advise you on chances at these top schools...</p>

<p>Admissions is really unpredictable... And these places are the number one top schools... it's extremely hard to get into.</p>

<p>Just pray.....</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance at Stanford. MIT and Princeton are tougher, though.</p>

7

<p>Yup, you have a good shot</p>

8

<p>Well, I certainly don't aim at frustrating or de-motivating you, but you do not have a realistic chance at the schools mentioned above.
The problem is that it is simply not enough to be an academic standout within the confines of your high school or community -and I do believe that you are such a "regional standout"-, but that you really have to excell on the state- or, even better, on the national level through competitions, research papers etc.</p>

<p>Don't worry; there are so many other great universities in the US and it is most important to learn much and to develop innovative ideas. Where you do this is secondary.

<p>that C sophomore year is a problem, otherwise the stats are decent. however, you do need ECs.</p>

10

<p>Without any ECs, chances are really, really slim.</p>

11

<p>I think any Ivy league school is going to be a stretch. They all pretty much want to see students that are good at everything. Which means having great ECs as well as good scores.</p>

12

<p>I think if you show that you really stepped it up later in high school and the fact that you could barely speak English, you may have a chance, but still slim. Write good essays, and you need EC’s. I’m sure you have time to start a sport or something, since you’ve had until 2004.</p>

13

<p>What is this I don’t even</p>

14

<p>Why are you guys reviving a six-year-old thread?</p>

15
