<p>I choose these schools because i’ve heard these are quite generous in terms of aid to foreign students.
Anw, I just realized that my profile doesn’t look competitive in terms of leadership and sports/arts. Don’t know whether those will weaken my application?!!! I’m afraid officers will see me as a NERD!!!<br>
so what do you think? do i stand any chance?</p>

<p>thanks :)</p>

<p>Hey I live in singapore lol.</p>

<p>But yeah, your O levels and prospective A level grades are great! You have a lot of academic achievements and some leadership. PLUS, you have some work experience! I think you have a great chance.</p>

<p>what i’m afraid is that my huge amount of FA need would lower my chance :(</p>

<p>It likely would lower your chances.</p>
