<p>I'm applying to Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford this autumn
I'm an international homeschooled student
I have 3 A-levels, all As- Maths, Further Maths, and Physics
I've got two Open University (similiar to community college) qualifications in genetics and cosmology
^apart from that, no other qualifications, although I intend to do the SAT Reasoning Test and SAT Maths II, Biology, Chemistry, World History, and Literature later this year
I'm doing some freshman- or sophomore-level research in CS
I'm trying to start my own business
I run and lift weights quite often
I'm very good at creative writing and drawing</p>
<p>What should I work on? Should I start more extracurriculars?</p>
<p>It’s really hard to say. I think most here will have no standard for comparison for an International Home Schooled student, and qualifications and A-levels don’t make much sense to me either.
Are you only applying to HYMPS? Or are these just the schools that you are chance-ing for?</p>
<p>I’m also applying to schools like Pennsylvania, Cornell and so forth, and Cambridge, Warwick, Imperial, and LSE. I know I can get into the UK universities, but I’m worried about the American ones, as your college system is completely different.</p>
<p>What exactly are we suppose to base these chances on? I don’t see a GPA, I don’t see EC’s, and I don’t see SAT scores.</p>
<p>3 A’s are almost nothing for these schools. You need 5+ A’s in AS level to be in the competitive pool.</p>
<p>Botton line: Post your stats when your SAT scores, GPA, (exact) ECs are known!</p>
<p>@talha_adnan: If you’re referring to the UK universities, three A levels will be enough. I know people who’ve gotten into all of those universities, and it’s definitely sufficient - also, I’ve checked the websites :). As to the US universities, however -why would I need 5 AS levels for those? Shouldn’t the SAT Subject Tests suffice?</p>
