The only one that could be difficult is Harvard, however, your status as a peruvian may boost that. Accepted to all and possible to Harvard.

Although I am very unqualified to speak on the subject, (still in high school) based upon your excellent scores and Gpa, and your very unique background, I do believe that you have great chances for acceptance at any university you apply to. As others have said, I would definitely stress your unique background in your essays. In conclusion, best of Luck!

I agree with what many other people are saying. Think your gpa, test scores, and unique story will benefit you greatly. You will probably get great financial aid. Good luck!!

Hey, thanks for chancing me!
Your stats and background give you a really good shot, though many of the schools on your list are reaches for everybody who applies.
What are you looking for in a school? (major/location/size, etc). That would help us suggest good match/safety schools (:

Hi Deblerg, thanks for chancing me, too.
Well i want to major in biochemistry, i'd like to live near a big city and attend a medium-big school that does a lot of research . Any suggestions for good matches/safeties?

You've got some nice ECs, as well as good test scores. I'm not quite sure how well an international student fares in comparison to other internationals and US students, but perhaps your ECs and other info can give you an edge. I see Harvard, U Chicago, Columbia and Stanford as reaches, but honestly they're reaches for everybody... Thanks for chancing me before, and good luck!
