<p>I will be 21 when I start college in Fall 2012. I took two gap years after 11th and one after 12th for various reasons. I’m expecting a 2200+ in the Nov. SAT (results got delayed), and my school grades aren’t so good (80s and 90s in 10th and 11th), and 70s in Science for 12th.</p>
<p>Will a good SAT score, 3+ years of work experience, extreme personal hardships, good SAT II scores (730, 780 and 790 in Math 2, Lit and Physics) make up for my age and gap years?</p>
<p>Generally, how many 20- and 21-year olds would you find starting out college? Will I look “out of place”, especially as an international? And will I stand any chance at Ivies?</p>
