What should I aim for.

<p>Heya,</p>

<p>I am an international student, Dutch, at an international school since this year. I am doing my APs in this year:
Calculus AB
Microeconomics
US History
Compartive Government and politics
English Language</p>

<p>I am currently living and going to school in the UK. However, I also graduated from a Dutch High school and I received a diploma from the hardest course available in The Netherlands. </p>

<p>I am taking all my SAT 1s SAT 2s and ACTs this year, in fact I took my first SAT ever last week. I have almost no extra curricular activities, besides tennis, work experience and some conferences. </p>

<p>I want to apply to these schools:
Cornell
Chicago
Pennsylvania
NYU
Boston University
Wheaton</p>

<p>What kind of SAT scores should I get to have a realistic shot at those universities? Does it help that I am a international student, or that I will not need any financial aid. Finally, does it help that I have both AP qualifications and a independent Dutch diploma?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any responses...</p>

<p>2200 or above (since you’re an internatiol student, you should really aim for a 2300, because the int’l applicant pool is very competitive).</p>

<p>Is it really that high, I was thinking 2000-2100. </p>

<p>Isn’t it a good thing that I am an international student??? (who does not need aid)</p>
