<p>Im an international student from Pakistanand thinking of applying to America for my undergrad. But the thing is i cant afford the eduaction and ill probably need full financial aid which makes matters difficult. i plan to do engineering(electrical or mechanical). </p>

<p>My stats are:
Given my O levels 5 A's and 3 B's (A's in all physics,chem,maths and english though)
Given my As levels 3A's,physics,chem,maths)
Sat 2150(750M, 700 in both english sections)
Top 2% of class. The school does not have a GPA.
The grading system of school is very tough( the exams are made tougher than the actual O and A level exams)
Looking to give my Sat2(physics,chem,maths2) in Jan, probably get 800 in each(750 min)</p>

<p>EC: not too many, went to india for a essay writing competition,Hiking(does it count?), a good table tennis player (2nd best in school), helped in organizing events in school (farewells) taken part in model making competition of WWF and a science fair.Tutored my brother and his friends maths and the science subjects.(My school does not have any clubs so thats why they are missing).Done some community service 50(if standing outside a mosque and checking people by hand to prevent a terrorist from getting in, counts as one) about 50 hours.Also was part of a protest organizing commitee for 4 years(My main work is providing food to the protestors) and the one this year was about 25000 to 30000 people. Taken part in 2 science project competition.</p>

<p>Essay will be pretty good</p>

<p>Recomendations: they will be very good</p>

<p>Unfortunately, given the competitiveness of the international applicant pool, I wouldn’t count too heavily on it. Everyone has a chance, but yours aren’t particularly great.</p>

<p>Also, just FYI, most of us Americans were asleep between the time you posted this thread and the time you bumped.</p>

<p>So if i want to stand a chance ill have to absolutely ace my essays? right</p>

<p>Post #5 gives the best advice. By this time (~one week past the priority deadline and ~three weeks before the regular deadline), the only portion that might not be complete are your essays. After you have those the way you want them, take pride that you have given it your best. You are well-qualified and given the random nature of college admissions, anything is probable.</p>
