<p>Hey guys, I really need help. I'm a bit stressed over university admission. I would be considered an international student, as I do live in Canada. Alright heres a condensed story starting from my freshman year. Well, during grade 9 and 10 I could of cared less about grades. I think I averaged at a 68% in grade 9 and 70% in grade 10. Summer of grade 10, I found great inspiration, and chose a different path from my previous self. </p>
<p>(All at current school Junior year)
I switched to a private school, to work hard and I currently stand at a 91% average (hoping to finish with it as well). I also brought back the debate club which my school stopped in 2005, and am the president of it. I'm the leader of another club ( space design program where we present our ideas in a competition to several University of Toronto professors ). I also plan on being the manager of the soccer team later this year. I've also trading commodities mostly stocks in the market, ( which is something I plan on turning into a career, but I don't know if its something impressive to write about on my application.) Also guys I play the drums (3 years), taught my self C++ ( can make my own web browser, video player etc), and if do not get in I'm going to work my butt off and make sure I get in for grad school.</p>
<p>I will also be taking the SAT later this year (been taking practice tests and getting around 1900+ I plan on getting a 2100+ as I still have a few months to prepare.) SAT II Math 1 and 2 and Literature as well. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, I only know of one school that has a IB program, and it's not the one I'm currently in. However I'm still taking the most rigorous courses available to me, and doing well.</p>
<p>I know in my application I'm going to have to explain why and what was my sudden change of heart. But I guess theres nothing like current progress and hopefully I can explain it throughly.</p>
<p>I plan on applying as an international student to UPenn (Top choices), Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Yale, NYU, Perhaps a few others</p>
<p>So do I have any chance, what do you think? If I'm missing anything just let me know.</p>
