What are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>International student, not having studied abroad.</p>

<p>GPA-3.8(3.3-->4.0 trend) top 10 students
no APs because my school does not offer any.
SAT-Critical reading:740
Math: 800
Writing: 680(12)
SAT2-Math1C:760
Math2c:800
World History:750
US History:going to take, but I usually got perfect score on this part</p>

<p>Extracurricular activity:
-an official translater for a prestigious Environmental group(three years) over 300 pages
-Translated California Air Resource Board Regulation Document(about 100 pages)
-Research work for Fire Marshall of my country(comparing my country with other countries; the US, austrailia, Hong Kong, England)(2006-2007)
-Cathay Pacific Essay contest for Environmental Protection(top four highschool students in my country)
-UNEP TUNZA tertiary member and secretary
-UNEP presenter for environmental refugees
-World Environment Day directing member
-UNEP international conference in Japan(I am the delegate of my country)
-East Asian Conference on Environmental Protection(also the delegate of my country)
-the 5th ECO leader camp(am the leader of the 2nd team, the would-be delegate of Chile during the Model UN debate)
-another international conference related to environmental protection(also the delegate of my country)
-teaching a student english in a nursing house for three years.
-school soccer team(the craziest FW who scored 10 out of 5 games)- I like this stuff, because I got awarded from the headmaster himself. No joke about this. </p>

<p>Working experience-some petty things</p>

<p>Essay: great hook, very personal essays that I suppose no one could ever have experienced the same one as I have. Yet, the essay is not dull; for example, i didn't write about death, or my working experience, MUN, or something like that every international student would usually write about. I chose extremely rare experience of mine to show what I am. Actually, this experience showed me what I am. </p>

<p>I am looking for Yale(EA), Columbia(ED)-not sure, though. I Think Columbia, Dartmouth, Williams, and Amherst right now. I just haven't chosen where to go.</p>

<p>Your ECs are really great. And you've definitely got a shot. But you're an international student so your 'shot' is a lot smaller than that of a US student with similar stats.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

3

<p>what experience might that be?</p>

4

<p>I don't know anything about your ECs; I suggest submitting an extra sheet explaining some of them. I don't see the average ADCOM knowing what many of those foreign ECs are about.</p>

<p>One thing: I'm pretty certain that you can't apply to Yale EA and Columbia ED at the same time, if that is what you intend to do...</p>
