G. Holmes (Belgium)

I got a hold of this painting from my great grandma. We’d love to get some more information about this painting, as we practically don’t know anything about this piece. If anybody can tell us what they know, it’s greatly appreciated!

Belgian student for CS/Engineering major: top schools

Hi, I'm a high school student from Belgium that just finished 11th grade going into 12th grade (it is currently summer break). I live in Flanders, Belgium and go to a catholic school (pretty standard in Belgium, not really a "religious" school).

Intended Major(s): Computer Science, (Electrical) Engineering

ACT/SAT/SAT II: Haven't taken the SAT yet, but I plan on doing this. (1550 is realistic, I have practised)

UW/W GPA and Rank: My school doesn't publish rankings and doesn't use the GPA system. 72/100 (average of my class is 66/100)

Coursework: My school does not offer AP/IB/Dual Enrolment classes, but I do follow the highest possible curriculum at my school (Economics & Math) with extra math.

Awards: None (my school doesn't organise competitions)

Extracurriculars:

  1. Founded and managed a Dutch Minecraft server that has hosted over 3000 players and generated roughly 6000 EUR in revenue. Managed a team of about 8 people and did the development (software, coding plugins).
  2. Currently building an app that lets student housing owners in Belgium easily manage their student housing.
  3. Started learning Chinese.
  4. Learned to program by completing CS50x.
  5. Was part of the EYP (= European Youth Parliament) group at school, where we debated about topics concerning the European Union.

Essays/LORs/Other: I still have to write my essays. I do not know how to get LORs because this really isn't a thing where I live (advice?). I plan on taking the TOEFL test.

Schools: Stanford, Harvard, MIT, UC Berkeley, Caltech, UCLA, Cornell & possibly other Ivies.

I am aware that this may be unrealistic at this time, but I would love advice on how I can improve my profile so I can get into at least 1 of the mentioned schools. I feel like the education system where I live doesn't prep people to be competitive applicants for international schools like the Ivies. Advice and feedback is much appreciated!
