Yes they look for someone with good grades and from a low income family

Hi, I am also applying. I hope I have a decent chance as I basically fall under every category that they are looking for other than I don't have any outstanding extracurriculars. Do you think this will impact my chance?

What kind of extracurriculars do you have? The application is modeled a⁴fter an actual US admissions application, so it's important to prioritise extracurriculars. It could be learning a language after school, being involved in an online forum, regularly posting book reviews, or just helping out around school- find something that showcases your character and the impact you have on others.

If you want, I can send you an example of how I've written about my extracurricular, as I honestly believe its about tthe quality and how you write about an extracurricular, not the extracurricular itself

Yeah, the experience doesn't mean that you have to go to a US university, it could just be a way to learn more about US study culture and life
