Chance an international student (junior)

At a glance, your GPA and EC’s are oustanding (in my point of view, at least). I just want to say that because I’m an international student (a senior) just like you. Now, it seems you are applying to schools where they give you barely any financial aid (for international students, that is).

Yes, there is some hope for you, from what I can see. Notice that international students make up around 5~10% of the student population, so the admissions margin for international students will be quite different from the US students admissions. I hope you understood that.

For me, I have not taken SAT II’s yet. I got a 1920 on my SAT I (very horrible curve).

Now, enough about me. How big is your school? Class? What is your class rank? What are your AP scores?

In my opinion, I think you are that slightly-below-average for those prestigious universities. You need that special hook for the admissions team to take another look at you.

Edit: And what do you mean by legacy?
