| Your record is very impressive, but typical for a student applying to a top tier school. Being a legacy (relatives attended also) will help a lot, make sure they are aware of this (there should be a form where you can list alumni relatives, ask for it).In considering other schools, be sure to consider their location. An Iranian student will have a harder time fitting in at a small college in the South than at a larger university in New York or California. Consider applying to St. John's in NY and UC-Berkeley and USC in CA.If English is not your first language (though obviously you can speak it) be sure to have a NATIVE English speaker proofread all your application materials if at all possible. |
