Hi.
I am an international student studying at a community college in Wyoming, USA. I am applying to UCB, UCLA, Cornell, MIT, U. of Wisconsin-madison, and Tulane U.
My GPA is 3.9x. Majoring in Chemistry. President of the International Club. In Phi Theta Kappa.
Being a tutor and worked at the library. Play in the orchestra - piano and bass. Good letters of reference. Reasonably well crafted essays. Have community services. SAT 2 CHEM-760 MATH-730 TOEFL-CBT-250
Do I have a shot for those schools above?
Greatly appreciated.

I think you've got a pretty good chance at Tulane, and I know that UCLA has an extremely high acceptance rate for students out of community colleges. I'm afraid that's all I know though.

Tsukasa,

You are in at Tulane for sure. UCLA being from out of state will hurt you. I know people that got rejected from UCLA this year that had 3.7 GPA's and they are in state.
