<p>Sooo not really a chance me thread but similar…</p>
<p>I’m international and just got accepted to a really good boarding school(prep-school) with a full scholarship for both my years there and to go to college(as long as it’s in the scholarship program, includes all Ivy-Leagues, Stanford, MIT, etc.)</p>
<p>At my current(soon to be former) school I didn’t have that many extracurriculars, clubs or community service hours because it just wasn’t readily available. </p>
<p>At my new school I plan to be as involved as I can, there is so much offered and I plan to take advantage of that. But how will the colleges I apply to in a few years see my record in my home country? Will they understand that I didn’t have as many opportunities there?</p>
<p>All comments and thoughts appreciated :)</p>
<p>provided you have an impressive string of EC activities at this new school WHILE keeping your grades as high as possible, getting into college should not be a challenge. As a matter of fact, most colleges place their heaviest focus on the EC activities done in the latter years of high school. So don’t wry too much
It’s funny because I actually have the opposite problem…as in my first few years of High school I was involved in literally everything and I just kind of faded away towards the end 
anyway, having said that, the new school sounds REALLY amazing where is it?</p>
<p>Good luck :)</p>
<p>Thanks 
It’s in upstate NY, prefer not say exactly where</p>
<p>I’m sure they’ll understand. Colleges generally look at whether or not you have done the best with what you have, so I don’t think going to a school with fewer opportunities than your new school will really hurt your chances.</p>
<p>Chance me?</p>
