What are my chances?

I am an international student, studying in Saudi Arabia I want to study in korea univeristy.

  1. Average gpa of 3.46 during my high school years (9-12 grade)

  2. Ranked 2nd on the entire 8th grade students while taking 6 honor classes out of 7 classes.

  3. Ranked 1st on the entire 9th grade students while taking 6 honor classes out of 7 classes. GPA: 3.43

  4. In grade 10, I took 7 honor classes out of 8. GPA: 3.34

  5. In Grade 11, I took 4 advanced honor classes out of 8 subjects. GPA: 3.45

  6. In grade 12, I took 2 advanced Honour classes out of 8 classes. GPA: 3.66

  7. IELTS Score: 8

  8. Fluent in 2 languages, and higher intermediate in korean

  9. also other school activities and 4 recommendation letters. ( Korea university needs 2 or more)

  10. also took extra business classes even though I am a science stream

  11. did o levels in private with scores AAAABBC

12)also my olevel subjects are math physics biology and chemistry all As and Information Technology and Arabic Bs and my English as a second language is C, even though my IELTS is 8. I was very sick on that day

this is all unweighted gpa, my school doesnt do weighted gpa but I asked my school to do the calculation and it turned to something like 4.6 but lets not consider this point

be honest . I know international students have an advantage but I am I even good to compete with them?

I am going for the computer science and engineering course

I don’t know if many people on CC are too knowledgeable about korea university as it is in well… korea. That being said you have good grades and extracurriculars. A GPA of 4.6 is very good and is the average at many ivy league schools. I would recommend that you do research on your own of those accepted internationally as I don’t believe many from CC know much about it. Best of luck!

Lmao, I have a shot at an IVY league school? man I never knew.

But I really want to study in korea, but its really hard to find international students to contact

Anyways thanks for the help. Korea university is not even close to any IVY league universities so I am just gonna assume I am fine. I was gonna apply anyways ways, but I am trying to keep my expectations low. THANKS again!
