Applying to College

<p>Hi, I will like to know your opinion on how strong are my possibilities for getting in to top schools like MIT, Princeton, Yale, and alike.</p>

<p>I recently moved from Mexico less than one year ago. There I won for two consecutive years the third place in the National Math Olympiad, I founded and was president of a Math Club and had a weekly radio program. Now I am pursuing the IB Diploma and am vice-president of the school's environmental club. I won last year a second place in a regional Science Olympiad category before the state competition and will participate this year too.</p>

<p>ACT: 24, 28, and will take a third one next month.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.96</p>

<p>AP: Statistics 4</p>

<p>IB curriculum:
History HL
Chemistry HL,
Physics HL
English HL
French IV SL
Calculus SL
TOK</p>

<p>I know that my ACT scores are not that great but I suppose that they would consider that English is not my native language, although I can handle it well.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t have guessed it was your second language, apart from a couple of small modal verb errors. :slight_smile: …So you have no excuse – pull up your ACT score (or try the SAT) and get into one of those schools!</p>

<p>Have you done any math competitions in the US? Did you make the USAMO for example?</p>

<p>Mexico is pretty good at math, especially if your third in the country. I assume you made the IMO? If so, please list that.</p>

<p>3rd place? Did you make it to the IMO? How did you do?</p>
