Looking to publish a set of modern English poems I wrote earlier this year (don't know if this is worth mentioning here, but in any case)</p>

<p>have yet to take SATs, but I am aiming (realistically speaking) for 2200 and above</p>

<p>Schools: UPenn, Dartmouth, Swarthmore, Duke, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley for Chinese(or East Asian Studies)</p>

<p>if I can’t reach/match those schools, please provide me with a list of schools that would accept me lol :(</p>

<p>EC’s are good but we need to know more about your academics to give an accurate chancing.</p>

5

<p>do i have an adequate hook?</p>

6

<p>And what would that be?</p>

8

<p>^No. Those are not hooks.</p>

9

<p>ohhh i was under the impression that they were. it’s ok, it’s better for them to know all about me anyway.</p>

<p>anyone else? i really want to know how much of a chance i stand. thanks guys.</p>

<p>I don’t understand your data. are you an international student from china?</p>

<p>My IB was 36 (taken more than 10 years ago) and I was accepted at 3 ivies and some top privates such as duke, rice, mudd, bowdoin among others. your 38 IB points should be a booster. your chances at top privates are depending on the outcome of your sat I and ECs.</p>

11

<p>yes im an international, but not from china.</p>

<p>i have 3 options now, do advice:</p>

<p>1) Proceed with Law school, then transfer after 1st year
2) Proceed with studying Chinese locally, then transfer after 1st year
3) Proceed with gap year</p>

<p>all advice will be MUCH appreciated!!</p>

12

<p>i got even more confused now; i’m sorry. which country are you from? what’s your intended major?</p>

<p>you cannot enroll in law school unless you have a prelaw tucked under your belt – at any american school.</p>

13

<p>i have a place in a UK Law school, as well as a local university to study Chinese.</p>

<p>I really want to study Chinese in the states though.</p>

<p>hope that clears things up</p>

14

<p>why won’t you take up law in the UK first and then proceed to MA in asian studies in america after your law studies? a law degree is a more prestigious degree. you can study chinese as a non-degree anyways.</p>

15

<p>i don’t believe that I have adequate interest in Law. my parents hope that i study law though. to me, undergraduate life should be an experience and not a chore</p>

<p>chances anyone?</p>
