<p>It’s impossible to say whether you’re competitive academically without seeing your SAT scores, so wait until you get those before posting another chance thread. Also, top 15% of the class isn’t going to be competitive…you should be in the top 10%.</p>

<p>As you haven’t yet taken the SAT, it’s too early to ask for chances. Ask again after you have taken the SAT and 2 SAT subject tests.</p>

<p>How the heck did you manage to do 10 sports? Sports in America usually takes about 2 hours a day for practice and that’s 20 hours right there. I can assure you that an ivy league level college like Dartmouth doesn’t care about a sport you are mediocre at. Many people applying to American universities make the mistake of putting quantity over quality. Quantity is useless-purely useless, for a school ranked in the top 20 usnews, not to mention Dartmouth. Idk about grades in Denmark, but you need a SAT score of 2200+. EC’s are great (American kids rarely speak 6 languages…that’s quite impressive) but not fabulous. It would really help A LOT if you won or will win some academic competitions.
From what I see you have a solid but not great chance.</p>

<p>As you haven’t taken the SAT, it’s too early to ask for chances. Ask again after you have taken the SAT and 2 SAT subject tests. And, yes – posting the same chance thread on multiple forums when you have insufficient credentials to even guess at a chance is really annoying!</p>

<p>Which school are you applying to? I’m not sure about math studies…if you’re going for engineering etc. if not you should be fine with math studies. Your bio SL is a bit weak. Unfortunately bio SL is the hardest subject in group 5 to get a 7 (statistically)…also do sat/act if you have not already done so. Good luck!</p>

<p>Also do toefl perhaps, since you’re not doing english first language.</p>

<p>Thomas:
Given that you’re 4th out of 26 students, applying in the most competitive pool (international applicants), have a 3.6 GPA and an unspectacular predicted Junior grades…</p>

<p>even without your SATs I’d say you are not a realistic applicant for any of those schools except for Notre Dame – and that’s even dependent on a very solid SAT score.</p>

<p>I’m curious how you can play 10 different team sports with only 60 total kids in your HS. This must mean that you are playing club sports which can demand even more time than HS sports in terms of travel and practice.</p>

<p>Also, most of the schools you listed do not offer finance or business-related majors.</p>

<p>This looks like a trolling thread. Or the OP has no idea how competitive these schools are and what are the basic requirements for application.</p>
