<p>Eritrean living in Germany? Doesn’t get any more unique than that! LOL, just kidding. I would say that no one on these messageboards can say for sure if your origin will be enough to push you over the top into an Ivy seeing as how you didn’t post your stats. Nevertheless, I will take your word for it and encourage you to apply to see. I would also keep in mind that there may be other American schools that you might like outside of the Ivies. They are a crapshot for everyone. Good luck though!</p>
