Yeah, I will be applying elsewhere. However, I think my chances will be significantly higher at need-blind Universities given my family’s financial background.
I have a perfect score on the SAT and high 2000s in physics, chemistry and math II in SAT subject so I’m confident my academics are within range. </p>
<p>Otherwise, I competed in the British maths Olympiad last year and expect to compete in Columbia for the International Olympiad this year, captain my national lacrosse team, have volunteered for St John Ambulance for 4 years (which lead me to volunteer in South Africa and Australia for a 6 weeks each) along some other relevant and interesting ECs like creating a chess club which, because of a lack of venue, we play on a app I created through programming! I’ve also been part of a debating club in which I have had the chance to talk at Westminster about palliative care which was really interesting. </p>
<p>I am obviously being cautious but I am happy with my application and think that I will do okay. I have also applied to Universities in the UK but the goal is definitely the US.</p>
