So, I’m a 17 year old student, currently living in a small city, located in Brazil. And after comparing myself to other international students applying to Ivies, I am feeling like garbage, hahaha, I did nothing like volunteering work or starting a campaign. Here’s what I did:
-won a bronze medal in OBM, the national math competition held in Brazil
-won a gold medal in a math olympiad hosted by ETAPA, an education group.
-won a silver medal in a local Futsal competition
-won a silver medal in a Writing competition, in Japan;
-Became the teaching assistant in Chemistry and Math in my school;
-Lived in Japan for about 9 years
-participated in school’s presentations, doing things like singing, dancing and reading a poem, once;
-3 years of Spanish;
-4 years of classical guitar classes, also played in a concert once, and will again in December;
- Self-taught English (I don’t know if this has any impact).
Besides these ECs, I have a GPA of 4, and am the first among a class of 34 students. My SAT II scores in Chemistry and Math 1 are 690 (Which I plan to improve) and 740, I still haven’t taken the regular SAT. Do you think I have a chance at all? the summer holidays are coming, should I do something during that extra time?
