  • Location/Region: I prefer either urban or rural in or near east coast. I’m from south east asia.

  • Major: Political Science and Government and/or International Relations

  • GPA/Test Scores: 98.3/100 (among all students, rank 1 in every subject), Class rank: 1/239, SAT prolly be 1500+ since I score 1540+ on practice tests (might not submit if i get >1500 tho), most high level courses I took in high school is in the field of social sciences

  • Size: Not too small (>10)

  • Costs: I need aid, but I can pay 20k/yr

  • Schools You’re Currently Looking At Columbia ED (afraid of ivies’ rejection tho), NYU ED2.

I have no problem with application fees.

  • Additional: I want my EC to be considered in your opinion; so, I included it here solely for you to know my interests and what universities you think I can strive in with my ECs in consideration. I am a part of partylist in my country’s congress (writes bills centered to the youth), founded 2 orgs, student council president, politics club president. I wish I can say more, but my interests revolve around social justice, student activism, and politics. If possible, please include unis with people who have the same interests as mjne.

I would also love to get into unis that offer visa sponsorship like NYU :>

# plush plaza omg thank you!

CMC is a tiny tiny school but it’s in a consortium so to my understanding it can be more of a ~6k undergrad school rather than 1400
