@aabyrinth Your EC’s are outstanding, no need to worry about that for now. As long as you can keep up on your on your predicted SAT I and SAT II, you should have a fighting chance. But the fact of the matter is there are many asian, who will match your status, if not totally surpass it. So the key thing, i can stress here is that you should focus on your college essay. To stand out as an international student, make your essay personal, and unique.

Regarding the financial aid, international students mostly get deferred from EA,and ED, When applying for financial aid, because the college can’t be totally sure how much money it can allocate.


Final verdict, your Ec’s and predicted scores will make you competitive. As that won’t be a guarantee, for the likes of Harvard, and other prestigious schools, focus on your essay, in fact you should make a rough outline now. Even with all this (like many who apply to harvard), you have a low chance of getting in. You just have to hope for the best.

Good luck
