<p>I'm a student from Canada taking IB, currently in Grade 12. (I'm applying for admission in Fall of 2007, so I graduate June 2007) I'm chinese from an average household. I hope to apply to an Ivy League school, but I don't really know what my chances are, I hope you guys can give me a an idea. I'm hoping to get into Harvard, Princeton, Yale, or Stanford. I will also apply to Columbia, UPenn, and various Canadian schools. </p>

<p>EC's</p>
<p>I have a lot... I guess, not as many as some of the people I see on the forum, but my EC's are pretty intense... like I see some people with a lot of music stuff... I'm taking Royal Conservatory of Music ARCT and that takes a lot of time out so I don't really know... </p>
<p>Captain of Ultimate Frisbee Team
Head of World Vision
Member of Model UN
Member of Provincial Table Tennis Team
IB Council
IB Director
NPO (started it myself) bringing in, restoring, and donating computers to local community centres (I like fixing computers... haha)
Community Volunteering (a lot... like a LOT)
And some other random activities</p>
<p>I won gold at the national science fair last year and the national chemistry fund award, honorable mention at national science fair again this year (it's relatively difficult to actually get INTO this science fair, at least from my region), and probably will go to Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) next May... and like, a couple awards for some random mathematics competitions. I've also won gold medals at my district and regional science fairs.</p>
<p>There's like this section for some national awards or something on the Common Application... like Cum Laude... do they take into consideration that me being in Canada, I've never even HEARD of things like Cum Laude's Society, or things like National Merit don't even exist? Like the awards I've even heard of in Canada are like... science fair... geography competition, music, and athletics, oh and some math competitions like the AMC! </p>
<p>SAT</p>
<p>2240 - 700 Cr, 740 Wr, 800 Math</p>
<p>SAT II</p>
<p>800 Math II C</p>
<p>and uhhhh I'm taking SAT IIs later... and I'm going to take the SAT I again.. and I'm going to get 2300+, I hope. Or, is 2240 good enough? Oh yeah, and 2400 on three SAT IIS i hope... Bio M Phys Chem... whichever... </p>
<p>Just to note, the course load I've had from Grade 9 is virtually the hardest course I could possibly put myself through (other than going beyond anything offered at my school). </p>
<p>I guess my hook would be how much I'm into the Sciences. This summer I was accepted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation Research Program, there was like a 10% acceptance rate. I worked with an internationally recognized researcher, and now I have an internship working there. I'm persuing my own research project, and I plan to have the paper published sometime in 2007. I plan on sending in this research paper as a supplement with my application, as well as use it to enter various science fair competitions in Canada. I was invited to enter the Intel Internation Science and Engineering Fair LAST year but health issues prevented me from doing so. However, I was invited again this year, and I plan on doing it this year. So long as my science paper is published, I feel I have a good chance of doing well. Unfortunately, whatever success I have at ISEF won't be made clear to the admissions people because the fair is in May of 2007 and acceptances are sent out in April of 2007. Oh well. </p>
<p>Anyways, any comments on my chances would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance. I really appreciate this!</p>
