Getting into Sophia University

Hi there! I'm an International Baccalaureate (IB) student who has attended international schools his entire life. I've lived in six countries and I'm currently a junior. I'm American. I'm kickass at writing essays, but unfortunately my test scores are not the best, and I'm only taking Math SL. I do have Chemistry HL, my SAT should be around 1800-1900 and I hope to score around 35-38 in the IB, with a high school GPA of around 3.3 on the 4.0 scale and a 3.7 on the 5.0 (B+ average with hard courses). I'm wondering what you al think my chances are to get into the Green Science/Green Engineering programs offered by Sophia which I heard are extremely selective, as they do require Math HL which I don't have.

Thank you!

With Sophia University, you are talking about the cream of the cream so it will not be easy indeed. Why don't you ask an agent for advice? You could contact them: http://motivistjapan.com/

If HL Maths is required, then you don't meet the requirements for the course. I would contact the university directly to ask if they ever take students without the required prerequisites. Having done the IB myself, I can tell you that there is a big step between SL and HL Maths, and if they want HL Maths as a prerequisite/assumed knowledge, you may find the course too difficult.
