Will I have any chances to UNC, Emory, Georgetown, Wash U or Duke and Harvard?

<p>First Im posting here to see if I even stand a chance against top ten school in US not to listen simply "You never can get in".... I have really low gpa and I know that..... but there is good reason, not excuse for it...... so in order to make up for my lack of gpa I did alot of EC. </p>

<p>The following is my gpa
IB
9: 3.27 (I have no excuse for this)
10: 3.38 (school suddenly become stricter and started to grade weirdly, 3.5 is considered an A- and in my school only 1 person got 4.0 that year)
AP: I moved to AP school
11: I took 3 AP and I currently have around 3.71, but I might be ending it with 3.86. I had really hard time adjusting to this new system and environment
12: My school only provide 4 AP in senior year so Im thinking to take 3 more in out of school. Aiming and determined to get 4.0
If I were to follow my plan properly, I will be getting 3.93 gpa in AP and 3.32 in IB</p>

<p>SAT: 2340
SAT 2(To make up my lack of score i took 9)
Math 1C: 800
Math 2C: 800
Biology: 770
USH: 720
Physics:780
Chem:740
Korean:800
Literature: 800
World H: 780</p>

<p>Since I go to international school in Korea, I was only able to take online courses
- These are the online courses that I took
Criminology
Legal System
Justice System
Kinesiology
Physics
Biology
Chemistry
Sports Science
Engineering Science
Geophysics
Quantum Physics ect
I focused my studies on science field and a few on legal system. Also I excel at physics</p>

<p>Language: I'm good and fluent at Korean, German, Japanese, Chinese and English. Also I know spanish, french, latin and swedish. </p>

<p>Also In terms of physicality, I know more than 10 martial art, not joking. Like I stand 5 ft 6 but even seniors admitted that Im the most strongest guy in our school, not because of strength, but tactic and strategy that I employ. But sadly university does not have any martial art as a sport, I will be only be doing this as a club......</p>

<p>One thing that I can say that makes my exercise most shining is the self research that I did. I researched a topic about height growing. I stood around 5ft 3 during my freshman year and I tried various methods to increase my height. But I didn't grew a inch. So I went to the hospital and they told me that I won't be growing further on. But I didn't give up and continued. I found a method, which not only that I tested to myself, but to my friends. I grew 3 inches and my friend grew 5 inches! This was big success and Im still working on it and trying to improve the method. In Korea, alot people say that you won't be growing after high school but I wanted to disprove them and this is the result: success.</p>

<p>It will be really nice if you give me a chance and look at it. Thank you~ </p>

<p>You have no lack of SAT score!!! You were 60 points away from a perfect score. I commend you on all of those SAT II’s though. Great job. You’ve gone through an upward trend which is good. But on your essays, emphasize your passion for martial arts or whatever you like. You are competitive. But lack of a good essay can destroy one’s application, so make it your absolute best. </p>

<p>@PolyglotGal‌
So I should focus on the essay now… wow thank you so much for the advice!</p>

<p>Your gpa is killing you, but the rest looks good</p>

<p>UNC: high match OOS, safe instate
Emory: high match
Wash U: ?
Georgetown: high match
Duke: low reach
Harvard: big reach</p>

<p>Chance back

<p>This sounds sketchy. I would not mention on apps. Reader may be concerned that you “experimented” on yourself and, even worse, a friend. The rest of your app is good. Don’t take a chance with the growth story.</p>

<p>Then should i just write self research? thank u!</p>
