firstly, i wanna thank all of you who are trying to help confused
student like me.

now, could u tell me,which colleges in california I have a chance to get in and which ones i shouldn’t even dream about?for instance ,would SDSU,UCLA , stanford(dreaming) even take a look at my application?

Schooling system in finland is a way diffent from american one. highly compative , tough as hell, fortunately internationally know from that.

we have no:
honor- or APclasses, no class ranks,honor roll awards

I haven’t taken my ACTs or SATs since they aren’t offered normally in finland and need to be ordered.Im anxious about them, mostly because english isn’t my first language.
