<p>Ahoy everyone,</p>
<p>Title says it all.I simply wonder about my chances in studying in the USA and wondering about experiences of other people's who might have gone thru the similar ways.I'm open any kind of advice,help etc .. Let me give a few basic information about myself.</p>
<p>High School GPA:4.8ish/5, 3rd and 4th grade both beign 5/5 though.
Not the most prestigious high school of Turkey but it's still an Anatolian High School.(Which means you've to take an exam at the end of elementay school and be in top 30k or smth in 600k+ students)</p>
<p>University:Freshman at Istanbul Technical University.My first semester GPA is 3.75 and my second semester GPA will probably be in the same range.Placed 4,4kish in national university exam(bout 1,7k million people enters every year).</p>
<p>Activities:Well probably the weakest part.I've only attended about 2 science fairs in high school.Placed 30ish in turkish archery competetion when i was 12 or so.No science medals,no inventions or anything like that.I play tennis,football etc but not competitevely.Starting to attend a few tournaments in tennis though.Nothing besides these.</p>
<p>Why i want to study in America:The main reason is that i'm certainly not satisfied with my major.If you get good grades in turkey you either become an engineer or go to medical school.I was a victim of that.I simply want to study physics but i see little room for any natural science in my country</p>
<p>Finance isn't a problem considering i'll start studying at 3rd grade.And didn't take any SATs yet.</p>
<p>So this pretty much sums up current condition.I'm open to any kind of ideas.</p>
<p>Danke</p>
