Can I get into a good undergrad college?
I got 770 in the SAT Critical Reading, and 790 in SAT Reasoning Maths. I speak English at home, and I’m quite proficient (My TOEFL marks are higher than the MIT minimum).
I am yet to take my SAT2, so I’m not sure how I’ll fare in them.
My GPA is 3.8.
The subjects I have chosen are Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science. In a class of 500, I’m in the top 5%.
I have excellent recommendations from my professors, so I’m not particularly worried about that.
Exracurricular: I am co-leader of the Programming Team in my school’s computer club, and a member of the Computer Security Team. I’m also a member of the English Editorial Board.
Social Work- I was a volunteer in a hospital for the under privileged (worked there for 120+ hours).
I had a summer job for 2 months working for a multinational company.
So what do you think?

schools other than the ivies are getting very popular…a lot of people say they offer a better education than the ivies (i agree with this…)
so, (a very short list of) really great non-ivies include:
smaller colleges: amherst college, boston college, williams college, mount holyoke college (all women)
universities (bigger): university of chicago, northwestern university, stanford
andif you’re into science…definitely try johns hopkins university
I would look into getting a student visa, and contact the admissions counselor for international students at the university of your choice!
I wish you the best!
