I know this forum website is helpful but I’d like to make this my last
thread so I don’t get too overwhelmed with the ‘‘omg, will I get in’’ stuff.
Can you tell me which schools are good matches for me??
I was born in russia and moved here when I was 6,
skipped middle school all together to hitchhike around the
world with my father on life insurance money as a result of
my mother’s death. Now I’m in foster care and a
junior at Clarence High School in upstate NY. I skipped 10th
grade so that I could be with my age group and I have a 4.0
(96) gpa.

My foster mom wants me to apply to ivy league schools, but I’d like to know what matches/safties I should apply to.
I hope to major in international relations and minor in psychology

but do you guys think my “overcoming adversity” stats will compensate?
