<p>Even though you are international, your ECs are so impressive. I’ve always wanted to be a pilot, so jealous. I believe you have a good shot, your SATs are great, your rank is phenomenal and you’ve accomplished a lot in your life! Do you have a GPA in Brazil?</p>

4

<p>Nah, we don’t. Still, the arithmetic mean of my grades in high school was 92/100. Thank you so much for your insight!</p>

5

<p>Your average score is impressive. I don’t want you to get your hopes up, but if you were a U.S. citizen, you would most likely get in. The only thing that may hinder your chances is being an international. Do you require financial aid?</p>

6

<p>No, I don’t require finaid.</p>

<p>Percent of Applicants Admitted: 50%
