<p>I was from Northeast Yucai School in Shenyang, China and an exchange student last year to the Episcopal Academy. This year I officially enrolled as a regular student (senior) at Episcopal. English is my second language. I know a little bit Japanese since I lived there for two years when I was little.
I have a 3.88 GPA but since it is a hard core private school this is okay-ish.
I took Calculus BC(5), AP Chemistry(5), AP Physics B(5), Ethics, American History and American Literature last year.This year I am taking AP Physcis C, AP Biology and AP Statistics, British Literature and Foundations of Art(in order to graduate, I need art credits). I have a 2040 SAT I, 800 Math II, 800 Chemistry. I just took my first ACT this October and am taking another SAT I in November. I have a 111 TOEFL.
I have a few ECs (exchange, Student Council, Community Service, Teachers’ Assistant, MUN, Robotics, JETS…etc)
I am applying EA to UChicago…I know my grades aren’t perfect, or, rather low… I hope I can get in…I really love the school…</p>
<p>加油~ 只要essay好就有戏吧！</p>
<p>看到中文超亲切。
esaay是我自己写的。老师看了很喜欢但是我父母看了说看不懂。。他们在国内也不怎么看英语。。其实都有些担心因为申请的事情都是自己做的。。就怕考虑不周密什么的唉。</p>
<p>You have a good shot. Check the stats of the accepted the international students from last yr. Score wise, you are fine. The problem is if the volume of the applicants is large, it becomes more seletive. For example like UIUC,UCLA, since so many Chinese are applying, they raised the “bar.”</p>
<p>U of Chicago is a bit difficult for your status unless you are very lucky.
Georgetown is a better shot anyway.</p>
<p>If you write great essays and establish yourself as a exceptional writer, you have a shot. Keep in mind though, that the acceptance rate for international students is far below the overall acceptance rate. My admissions cycle had an overall acceptance rate of 27% but an international acceptance rate of 15%.</p>
