Another chance thread :)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

<p>I've applied to Princeton as an International student, in need of financial aid.</p>

<p>Academics: Full IB course [7 in Maths HL, Chemistry HL and Physics HL; 6 in English SL, French SL and History SL]. My courseload was pretty full on and unconventional. I completed this course in Singapore, as I got a scholarship to study there in grade 10.
In grade 10, I got 96.6% in my Indian ICSE boards, valedictorian, 98 in science and 100 in Math, academic trophy, etc etc</p>

<p>SAT I- Math- 770; CR- 730; Writing- 710
SAT II- Math II- 800; Chemistry- 800; Physics- 800</p>

<p>Activities- School band [founder and lead guitarist], Jazz guitarist fir the jazz band, Captain of quiz bowl team, Speaker of the Students' Council and class representative to the students' council in the year before, Founder and President of the French Cultural Club, Math club, etc</p>

<p>Awards: BS Chitlangia trophy for academic excellence, the only student from state to be selected for the 65,000 US dollar Keppel Magus Scholarship to study grades 11 and 12 in Singapore after emerging from a selection procedure, several quiz awards, band awards, Best Math Student for grades 11 and 12 in Singapore, Bronze Medal in the Singapore Math Olympiad, etc</p>

<p>Essays- no idea. crappy?
Research- I've done a lot of independent research on mathematical analysis and number theory, and will be sending Princeton a copy of my thesis.</p>

<p>Recommendations- Not allowed to look at them. But I think they'll be good.</p>

<p>Please chance me. I don't think Princeton is my first choice, but it's a great school for Math- the course I've applied for.</p>

<p>Cheers :)</p>

<p>Thanks funnypunjabi :slight_smile:
I’m still confused though whether I’ll be considered part of the Singaporean applicant pool- where I completed high school from, or the Indian pool…:o</p>

<p>i think it depends what you put as your location
good luck :)</p>

<p>What the… 7s on three of the most ridiculous HL exams? That’s pretty ridiculous. I can only hope to do nearly as well, haha… although my HLs are Math, English, Biology, and History.</p>
