Hii! I’m an international student from Bangladesh. I’m in high school right now and applying and I was trying to figure out where to apply, I wanna apply to Johns Hopkins and UC Berkely but I don’t know if I should. So here’s a list I’ve compiled of my current scores and achievements:

  1. SAT Score
    Math -670
    Critical Reading -670
    Writing -650
    Total -1990
  2. AS grades:
    Math -A
    Physics -A
    Chemistry -A*
    Biology -A*
  3. I’m an honors student, have been so all throughout high school.
  4. I’ve interned at a school for special needs children, I’ve worked at a newspaper, got my writing printed a couple times.
  5. I was president of my schools community service club. I was a student counselor,
  6. I’ve been to two international student conferences, one about the environment and one about education in Asia.
  7. I’ve done MUNs, won ‘Best position paper’ award there. I’ve coordinated conferences at my school.
  8. I’ve been working with charities since my early teens

That’s about it,and also I’m taking sat subject tests chemistry and biology in a week. And I’m just really confused about where to apply :((
Thanks!

What can your family pay?
If you need siginificant financial aid, take UC Berkeley off your list. It’s a public school, and won’t give financial aid to international students. Focus on private universities (such as Johns Hopkins) and look at schools that award automatic financial aid based on test scores and grades, such as University of Alabama. Read through this site, and check out the thread on international students applying for financial aid
