Thank you!

-IELTS: 8.0
-I've decided not to send sat stats
-competitive IB school
-needs FA
-applying with Croatian passport (Central/Eastern Europe)
-great recommendations from a teacher and counsellor (i believe they recommend me enthusiastically, not sure about the second teacher though)
-athletic supplement (soccer captain for 2 years but my club went bankrupt - no women's soccer in my school so stop playing it at the beginning of 2009)
-good essay
-lean towards law so i guess i'd take russian, french, international relations and maybe math
