<p>our school is so small that it rarely has clubs. (less than 150 students) all of the schools in Palau do not have any ap courses. I got a 2020 on my SAT; planning to retake it this coming October. planning to take 3 sat subject tests too; 3~4 ap exams next May. (apparently i can take exams without classes!) oh yea statistically speaking our school is the smallest but academically best school in palau. </p>

<p>I’m hoping to become class president this yr. draft a human rights class as an elective and teach (hopefully; still need approval), continue volunteering at red cross, and participate again for the moot court competition and (hopefully) win this time :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I don’t know how geographical residence takes part of the application process; is it a big factor?</p>

<p>It’s a big factor, but not a huge one. However, you seem like an interesting candidate, being a Korean who lived in Pakistan and such for so long. (seems like a good essay topic! :D) Try to raise your SAT up a little, and get at least 700 on your 3 SAT 2’s. If you do those, then you should have a decent shot at Princeton, along with other top colleges. GL!</p>

<p>Woot woot! Pakistan represent!</p>

<p>( You have good chances, retake that SAT for 2200+ or else Pton is a reach, otherwise, you’re in. Make sure you study hard for the SAT’s!)</p>
