Hello People

Um. first of all, I am not a native speaker so there may be some grammar mistakes.

I was wondering what is the chance for me for Princeton?
I am an international student who has been dreaming for Pton more than 5 years.
But I realize that the admission rate is very difficult for International students. Beside, I heard that international students cannot apply for financial aid. you can apply for it but it will make your chance even more difficult.

here is my stats:

School: Korean Science Academy (it was difficult for me to get into this school. the admit ratio was 23:1)

SAT II: 800 Math 2, 790 Chem, 800 Physics, 790 Bio, 800Korean, 800Chinese
ACT: N/A
High school rank: think I'm in top 5%.

Extracurricular activities:
- 4 years as pianist for Phillharmonic Orchestra, Seoul
- 3 years as the president of Math club
- few years at community hospital

Award(s):
- silver on International Mathematical Olympiad
- silver medal on Korean Mathematical Olympiad (like USAMO. They are on the same level)
