help out an international student please!

<p>hi! i know a lot of people ask to get their scores looked at wanting a prediction it they’d be allowed at yale? I wonder i you could do the same for me? the “special” thing is i’m from europe so some stuff like GPA or AP’s and letter grading (A, B+,…)doesn’t apply to me… (plus international student might be considered as “minority”?) anyway this is all the info i can give you so any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>classes i take (+ mid terms results) (i’m a junior in one of the best Belgian HS’s)</p>

<p>Science

  • biology 80%
  • chemistery (college level) 86%
  • physics (also college level) 92%
  • math (advanced college class, 7 hours a week) 86% (top 3 of class)
  • geography 84%</p>

<p>Languages & others

  • “ethics” (a combination of psychology/sociology) 93%
  • Latin (college level, 4h/a week - Vergil,…) 87% (best of my class)
  • English 90% (best of class)
  • French only 76% but i’m dropping it soon ( i HATE French :d)
  • Dutch 76% (likewise)
  • History (world and european) 81%</p>

<p>overall i’m always at least 20% above class average and am in the top 1 percent of my class</p>

<p>SAT 1590 (790 verbal, 800 math), am taking SAT II and ACT next month</p>

<p>EC:

  • class president and president of the student body
  • editor of school paper (next year probably head-editor)
  • tutor in Math, Latin and English (in my HS)
  • volunteer for amnesty international</p>

<p>prizes

  • prize for overall academic achievement
  • for best Dutch, Latin and some other classes
  • prize for best essay/thesis (about existentialsm)</p>

<p>plus i’ve got an excellent letter of recommendation from my Latin teacher and the principal</p>

<p>so what do you think? could i get in (harvard or yale)? i know it’s kinda different… but your help would be great…
thanks!</p>

<p>You’ll get more responses if you put this on the “Chances” board.
