<p>I just wanted to know if i have a shot to the top school here in the US...

<p>I'm a senior at high school. Moved to the UNited states last year (I'm a US citizen), as a junior, from the Middle east. I studied in a french school and then because of the war in my country i moved to the US and went into the challenging IB program. I speak 4 languages, 3 of them fluently. I did a pretty good job adapting to the new culture here + english was my third language when i came, and i took very challenging classes ( That's IB!). I wanna be a doctor, and major in biology or chemistry at college.</p>

<p>I didn't pass all my AP exams this year( but i heard that i can delete the scores + I'm in the IB program, AP isnt required... i think ? ) I havent taken any IB exams yet, but i am taking 7 in my senior year. So until now (at the beggining of my senior year), i just have the 2 APs i passed (which are AP chem and Ap bio). I have my story, that I'm hoping it will get me in: Lived in a country under war for a year and then came to the US (a whole new life and adapted to the environment...etc).</p>
