My stats (international student):
ACT: 35, 36 superscored (35E, 36M, 35R, 36S)
SAT subjects: 800 Math 2, 800 Chemistry, 800 French With Listening
TOEFL: 117
GPA: N/A (international school)
Rank: 1/286
Gender: female
Ethnicity: Hispanic
I also won a silver medal in IChO (best result for my country) and participated in more science Olympiads, which were my main extracurricular. I think my essays conveyed well how passionate I am about chemistry, but also how I have other interests besides science. I also really tried to show how my point of view and my background would contribute to the diversity of Caltech, something they seem to be putting a lot of emphasis on.
Other schools: Amherst, Columbia (likely letter)
