<p>Hello everyone :)
I'm an international student in grade 11 (in a british school, so it's like grade 10 in an american one) and my IGCSE predicted grades are:
English Language: B
English Literature: B
French: A
Maths: A
Global Perspectives: A
Geography: A
ICT: A*
Biology: A
Physics: A
English is not my mother tongue. I joined a british school last year. Before I've only studied in a public italian school. Next year i will do the IB diploma program, and I'm planning on taking:
English Language and Literature SL
ITGS HL
Spanish ab initio
Biology HL/SL (still deciding)
Physics HL
Maths HL</p>
<p>Unfortunately i do not have many hours of EC activities, since i spent most of my last year (and beginning of this year) free time studying english with a tutor. Right now I'm doing MUN (and i will be the president of the club next year) and I'm studying russian on my own. I already speak Italian (mother tongue), English, French and basic German. I have also done around 50 hours of community service (teaching street children basic english and maths). The area where I live right now (East Africa) does not have any national science fair or competition, and I'm afraid this will put me at a big disadvantage, especially because I'm an international applicant. </p>
<p>I have not taken the ACT/SAT yet, but I'm planning to do it next year. However i have taken the PSAT last year, and i got 161, (73 for maths). Me and the other students taking the exam did not do any kind of practice (our school doesn't do SAT or ACT). My teacher believe that if i take the exam again next year, i may get 200+.</p>
<p>I would like to study computer science. Where should I apply?</p>
