Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am an American Resident but Indian citizen with Indian education. Indian high school is very competitive and mainly academic focused and as a result i have very little to no ECs, Will i be given some leverage on this basis. I am applying to GA Tech as an EA applicant.</p>

<p>My ECs -:
1. Volunteer Work - 1
2. Volunteer Work - 2
3. Senior Basketball Team Member -11th and 12th
4. French Language - 5 years - 6th- 10th</p>

<p>SAT - : 2100/1440 Maths - 790, Crit - 650
SAT 2 : Physics - 800, Chemistry - 730 (bad , i know)</p>

<p>I think you should just present yourself the best way you can. The admission counselor probably knows Indian education system.</p>

<p>If I am not mistaken about Georgia Tech, the school probably has an admissions officer specifically for Indian students…</p>

<p>Relax! They will understand our situation!
We don’t have the opportunity to take APs or join clubs!
They will scale you based on how u have utilized the opportunities thqt were available to you!
Opportunities itself being less, there is little you can do!
They will consider you and your schooling system, not you alone!
I thino it doesn’t matter!</p>

<p>From what I have read, Admission officers definitely try to understand your situation and judge your application accordingly… Just present yourself the best way you can and all will be fine :)</p>
