Hi, I am currently a 12th grade student and I am planning to apply early action to USA universities. I am currently an international student
Here are my current specs:

Eco Service Committee for 3 years
Backstage Crew for HS Play for 1 year
JV Rugby for 2 years

Part of a Volunteer Club for 3 years
IB student with 4 HLs and 2 SLs
Math, Chem, Economics, English B are HLs
Physics and Korean are SLs
Here are my grades: (Although my last two years of high school used IB mark, I’ll use the unofficial transcript I got to convert them from 7 mark system to A-F)
9th grade:
1st sem: 3.5/4
2nd sem 3.3/4
10th Grade
1st sem: 3.3/4
2nd sem: 3.6/4
11th Grade
1st sem: 5.6/7 (approximately 3.6-3.7/4)
2nd sem: 5.8/7 (approximately 3.7-3.8/4)
12th grade
1st sem: N/A but projecting a 6 (approximately 4/4)
My SAT score is 2020 (620 reading, 750 math, 650 writing)
My ACT score is 29 with essay
My TOEFL IBT score is 105
Here are the universities I plan to apply to:
- University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
- Georgia Tech
- University of Wisconsin Madison
- Purdue University
- Penn State
- University of Minnesota
and the rest are Korean Colleges
I’m applying in Engineering Major, specifically Mechanical Engineering and/or Aerospace Engineering.
As a person applying early action to either of my top 3 universities ( UIUC, Georgia Tech, UW), what are my chances and should I apply for them for both early and regular?
Thanks!
Also please do not sugar coat it for me, this is quite serious for me and I need to face the reality.
