I totally see your point sqdwfe13, but I don’t really have much of a choice in terms of the competitiveness of the colleges I am to apply to. If I don’t get into one of the top colleges, my parents will refuse to pay the full tuition (as colleges below this controvertible threshold do not generously offer scholarships to international students) and I’m going to have to move back to my home country where I will suffer from my lack of an education experience there. Believe me, I will essentially ruin my academic career; this is very important to me since I have goals I want to accomplish in a well-nourished academic setting.

I would also personally love to get out of high school and pursue a college career, but I see now that my stats aren’t too impressive at the moment. I have come to the conclusion that staying one more year in high school will actually benefit me quite a bit by giving me a chnace to build up those stats and make sure that I am more than just competitive to, in a way, increase my chances.

OMG the New York Times!!!
