Thank you for your answer. I think that the IB Diploma and its scores should not be a problem, however I am really afraid of SAT I, on the other hand SAT II seems ok. Regarding my ECs , do you think the colleges will not mind that I do just languages,table tennis,football (-soccer) and some volunteering? Should I do something over summer apart from the language camps or that is enough to show my interest? I am thinking of applying to Harvard as EA, do you think it will help somehow? What about awards - here in the Czech Republic we do not have many opportunities. And lastly, is it a disadvantage to be an international student? Thank you
And what about schools like Brown, Duke etc. ?
