<p>Alright, first of all I am from the Caribbean...and I will be doing the SATs soon and I will do Biology, Chemistry and level 2 Math as well as World History. I already know that I need VERY high scores on them but judging by the subjects I have taken...would my choice of subjects influence my chances?I am leaning towards a Mathematics degree but I am more of a little of everything kind of person so I may even switch. Oh, one more thing, I am doing the World History in order to show my diversity, and I hope to get above 650 but nothing extremely high like 800.</p>
<p>My GPA is 4.0. I have been in Key CLub for 3 years, Chess club president for one year, I have been in the Quiz club for 4 years, and Secretary of my Spanish club. Two consecutive years(grades 9 and 10) in student council then became a sub-prefect.</p>
<p>My main strengths are in essay writing as I have numerous 3rd, 2nd and 1st place awards for national competitions on topics such as global warming, globalization, women's rights and about the future of science among other topics. I have a prestigious(well, at least at my school it is prestigious) award/bursary for "outstanding performance in academics, extracurricular activities, and for unselfish contribution to school and fellow students" and another for best essay in end of year exams. Also, I was invited to a national function for students with excellence in academic work. </p>
<p>I have done volunteer work but not much just 2 visits to children's homes and a hospice in the last two years. But I did a lot through Key Club like fundraisers, visits to schools etc.</p>
<p>I aced my CXCs/CSECs(our equivalent of SATs and GCEs/GCSEs) and I have an A in GCE History and Additional Mathematics. I will be doing at least one year of CAPE(our version of A Levels/AP) but I wll skip the second year if I get accepted.</p>
<p>Top 3(I think I came first in my final exams but we stoped ranking) and prior years in other grades I have been top 10 at worst and number 1 at best. Number in class, about 40...50 at most.</p>
<p>So, what are my chances for Ivy League or equivalent school?What do I need to add or improve upon? My aim is for Princeton by the way.</p>
<p>Also, will apply for financial need(will need close 100%). Also, single parent family and very low income.</p>
