I’ve been reading these forums for months, because I too dream of the Ivy leagues! What I’ve gathered from success stories of kids who even don’t have what would be considered the grades/scores: passion and interesting character. And yes it’s going to be tough for you as an Asian, but there’s always hope! They want people who make their schools interesting, so start by adding something interesting to your school. Seeing as you enjoy current events/issues and diplomatic stuff, get into the school paper. If there isn’t one, establish one! If there is one, make it better! Be creative and let your passions guide and make your high school experience a fruitful and interesting one: in the end that’s what counts.
