Your ACTs and SAT subjects are certainly up to their standards and you’re GCSEs are really good, you’re A Levels are certainly not bad although the AL grades for ivies are mostly AAA* or AAA*A , but I think you’re ECs are outstanding and certainly would make up for it. Good luck!

Thanks so much it means a lot

You need to expand your list of schools. What do you plan to study ? Any career goals ?

Consider: Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service, Tufts University & Johns Hopkins if interested in International Relations as a major.

I would disagree about the SAT subject scores being good. Most of the schools on your list expect 750+ for the Subject tests and Math 1 does not have the rigor that the top schools look for.

lmao you’re the typical ivy guy. The only problems are the subject test scores, and everything else is truly stellar.

You’re an international student, so that, in itself limits your admission.
