African student deep trouble?

Are you sure you’d be able to keep up in the classes of the schools you want to attend?

The curriculum at those schools is very rigorous and nobody will hold your hand and translate your work for you. Your low SAT, even in math is a HUGE pause. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone with such a low SAT being admitted. Your school is very small so your valedictorian status may not mean much.

Your ECs are… ok I guess. But not particularly strong. And definitely not strong enough to make for the fact that everything else is weak.

I’m not sure if you have any shot at all. And if you’re asking for financial aid, conclusively 0 chance.

Any other opinions?
