<p>Hi guys! I'm an international student in America from the Philippines and also an incoming senior. I've been dreaming of going to these two schools ever since I was in 8th grade )): Like, literally, I'm so in love with the programs they have and the fact that they're based in HK! (favorite city in the world). I was wondering if they (HKU & HKUST) would accept me based on the grades and EC's I've had so far:</p>
<p>GPA (weighted): 4.28
(unweighted): 3.98</p>
<p>SAT I: 1730 (First try without studying/reviewing)
ACT: Taking it this saturday.
SAT II Chinese - 750
SAT II US: Just took it. (scores will be available on the 26th of June)
APUSH: tba (I had an A in my class so idk if that will help)
AP English Language: tba (also had an A)</p>
<p>EC's:
Student Government - International Directors and Vice President
Prom Committee
Senior Adoption Committee (something unique that takes place in our school where we auction seniors to other grades as "servants")
Yearbook
NHS
Junior Honor Guard (for graduation)
Various community services (i.e. LA food bank, Make-a-wish foundation, etc.)</p>
<p>I am planning to apply for their business program and are taking classes that can benefit me most. (i.e. AP Econ, AP Comparative Gov...)
I know that my SAT I score is very bad. I'm aware of that, that's why I'm planning to review and study for the test this summer and retake it again in October. Hopefully, I'll get at least an 1800-1850 ): I am soo nervous that I won't get to reach their minimum requirement.. I know that HKUST accepts ACT scores, and hopefully I'll get at least a 27-29 on the test!
Also, since I was an international student (came in during sophomore year), I didn't get a chance to participate in as much organizations in my school ): but I had plenty during my freshmen and junior year, hopefully that'll compensate for my lack of activity during sophomore year ((:</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
