<p>Does any1 think i have a resonable chance in RD- i mean know i have a disdvantage being Asian indian and…lotsa other factors…
Any thoughts would be nice…:)</p>

2

<p>you look good, so go for it. good luck</p>

3

<p>thanks alot shark bite
but aint my scores a tad low for HYP?
neone please care to comment???
thanks :)</p>

4

<p>i dunno how it is for internationals, but your sats are really low</p>

5

<p>I think you have an ok chance of getting in. They will definately look at your SAT scores, though.</p>

6

<p>can i take my SATS in jan and still have time to get them in for admissions???</p>

7

<p>Yea you can, you have nice ECs but your scores could be improved. They aren't disastrous but if there was anything i would say you could improve to better your chances, that would be it.</p>

8

<p>"(almost like AP/IB if not higher)"</p>

<p>You couldn't be further from the truth. The A-levels (or O-levels) are seen as extremely manageable, borderline easy, programs, as evidenced by their nearly 100% pass rate. The IB is regarded much more highly than the A-level system.</p>

9

<p>oh didnt know that but that wat my gc maintains....but one thing i know for sure that its equal to Ap
thanks feather ill take them in jan...thanks for the assurance!</p>

10

<p>sry, but it's harder for indians...otherwise, u have really good ECs.</p>

11

<p>Stew, I hope you recognise the difference between O-levels and A-levels. O-levels/GCSEs are all that you described, if not easier, but A-levels are not quite such a breeze. That said, they are not the most difficult courses around, though i havent tried my hand at IB or APs. IB is generally regarded only slightly higher than A-levels- his grades are pretty decent, though nothing spectacular.</p>

12

<p>I was actually referring to this: (almost like AP /IB <b>if not higher</b>)</p>

13

<p>Your grades seem alright, which is expected.</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty good, but nothing drop-dead gorgeous.</p>

<p>Your scores pretty much kill it.</p>

<p>Unless international students are afforded something extra, i see you as an Asian with a 2070.</p>
