Where do I enroll? Chance me please :)

<p>Hi! Thank you for paying attention :) I really appreciate it!
My name's Lera and I'm from Kyrgyzstan (a post-Soviet country in Asia). I am a U.S. citizen but I've never been there.
I am a senior in one of the best private boarding schools in my country. I really want to study in the USA and major in Computer Science. So far, I've taken TOEFL & SAT three times. However, the results are awful:
1st attempt (without studying):
CR -440
M - 560
W - 550</p>

<h2>total - 1550</h2>

<p>2nd attempt:
CR - 520
M - 520
W - 560</p>

<h2>total -1600</h2>

<h2>3rd attempt - took in November, waiting for my scores.</h2>

<p>TOEFL:
Listening - 28/30
Writing - 28/30
Reading - 26/30
Speaking - 19/30</p>

<h2>Total - 101/120</h2>

<p>We are graded on a 5-scaled system here. So far, I have all 5's. It's like GPA 4.0/4.0</p>

<h2>Unfortunately, we don't have AP classes here, but I took the most challenging ones available.</h2>

<p>Awards - 1st in regional olympics (English)</p>

<h2>2nd in national olympics (english)</h2>

<p>Actively participate in my school's social life.
EC's - swimming (no awards), basketball, robotics, running.
No financial aid required.</p>

<p>Here are my first choices:
• UCLA
• University of southern California
• UC-San Diego
• University of Maryland, College Park
• University of California, Irvine
• University of Massachusetts Amherst
• New York University
• University of California, Santa Barbara
• University of California, Davis
• Boston University
• University of California, Santa Cruz
• Stony Brook University, New york</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting in? How can I improve?
Are there any good universities apart from the ones listed above that could accept me?
Thanks in advance,
Lera.</p>

<p>Try American U, Wake Forest… and then do not send the SAT.</p>

<p>UCLA: High reach (can you pay full-freight? It then becomes reachable)
USC: High reach
UCSD: Reach
UMD: Reach
UCI: Reach
UMass Amherst: Match/High match
NYU: High reach
UCSB: Reach
UCD: Reach
BU: Reach
UCSC: High match

<p>thank you very much Catria!!! :slight_smile: Any ideas about how can I increase my chances of getting in?</p>
