<p>You retook, two 750's on the SAT II's. Wow. That's not a bad thing (actually it worked out quite nicely for you), I'm just baffled by that. I bet you'll get into one or two of those three.</p>

6

<p>Actually,when i had first posted this,I just estimated my SAT2 scores.They did turn out higher than I thought...</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry, I think publishing the book will be a huge boost to an already super super stong application. Your test scores are fabulous, and so are your EC's and your rank on the board exams is fabulous. I wouldn't worry. Just relax, write those essays, and wait for your acceptances to come in.</p>

<p>Essays come into play here.
I am from China, and know how many Indian/Chinese/etc. kids apply to those top colleges each year; most of them are extremely competitive, and you are certainly the best of the best. However, doing poorly on the essays could get you rejected easily.</p>

<p>One thing, be creative and make the essays INTERESTING. Most foreign applicants have conventional, boring essays. So it's your chance to stand out. Be interesting on the essay part.</p>

9

<p>In addition, your SAT I verbal might boost you, but what happens to your math?</p>

10

<p>Very true, my friend in admissions said foreign essays seem to be very formulaic as opposed to creative, make sure they are interesting</p>

11

<p>good job! It looks like you have a stron application. harvard is tough, but you have chance. good luck.</p>

12

<p>Do you think I should send each Ivy a copy of my book?</p>

13

<p>not to burst any bubbles, but there will be thousands of applicants from india, most with equally as good statistics, vying for a precious few spots. your book helps you stand out, but many other peple will be higher ranked in school and will have higher sats. its sad, but its always harder for the internationals to make it in than it is for the americans, becuase if you were here in the usa id say you were a shoe in. right now you're living in a very tough applicant ppol, but your chances still are good. bon chance!</p>

<p>"Most foreign applicants have conventional, boring essays."</p>

<p>The same can be said about many American too, though.
And is this true - that international's essays are normally conventional?</p>
