<p>Huh, I found this thread. If I’m being compared against students from my own country, that kind of answers my previous question… </p>

<p>Should I also apply to the better LACs? If I’m going against all the private school kids from my own country who are rich enough to pay full fee and do a boatload of ECs, I don’t think I stand much of a chance. :/</p>
