Non-residents that got in to any U of C--HOW?

To you lucky kids that are non-residents and got in--how?

Specifically, how much EC and how many AP exams did you past? (please indicate which U of C you got into)

Other information to get me out of this dark hole of despair would help--I feel like a failure because of the lack of spectacular aspects that will be going into my application. :'(

we (non-residents) r not lucky as we pay more than double than in-staters (the real lucky ones...). Lots of ECs (mostly piano competitions), around 12 APs, and 8 IBs. Got into UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, and Northwestern. Went to Berkeley. Good luck!
