My stats are:

SAT Verbal 630, Math 790 Writing 670. My English scores are not strong at all, although English is not my first language. (I don’t know how much that will count though) I will be retaking the test, and I hope I will get better scores.

Two 800 on SAT II. Lowest is 740.

Lived in other 2 countries, know Chinese and Japanese. Lived in the U.S. for 4 years.

Not many AP classes; I’ve only taken 3. Got 5 on all 3 of them. Also, I haven’t taken as many honors classes as my school has to offer. (All my friends have taken like 15.) I’ve only taken 5 in fact. But I’m taking more next year, with 4 AP classes and 1 honor.

3 A+ in Junior year, one in AP chem, one in Hon pre-cal, and one in Lv1 French 1 (just starting French). School is public, but pretty competitive in the area. Each year, about 5 to 10 out of 400 students get into Harvard.

Some community service, but not much leadership. No sports, no music. I’m in NHS.

Not very good at writing… I should probably start my essays…

These stats are horrible… -_-; Are these stats possible for the Ivy League?
