<p>I got waitlisted at UPenn with 98.9. Hope that helps? =/</p>
<p>but about those who apply Early decision?
They haven’t known UAI yet?</p>
<p>Well, if you apply RD, you’ll have your UAI in time.</p>
<p>For ED, I think what they told me to do was use the online UAI calculator. Calculate your expected UAI, sign a Statement of Declaration (Get it from the post offices and signed by a JP) that says xx.xx is my UAI based on 2008’s results.</p>
<p>Or something like that. Best if you checked with the school itself though.</p>
<p>Well, cuz the deadline for ED is usually 1st Nov
HSC is still going so I’m planning to submit way before Nov, better to settle it on October…
Can I sumbit the HSC result later then?</p>
<p>you submit your hsc results as the financial report, so after mid december after you get your official report n stuff.</p>
<p>You also get your school to submit what they calculate as your estimated UAI cause they have fancy programs that do it…</p>
<p>Oh yeah and rejected from Brown and Columbia with a 98.05 UAI</p>
<p>Ok, final decisions -</p>
<p>UCLA - Accept
Berkeley - Accept
USC - Accept, with Dean’s 10k

Yale - Accept, VERY generous aid, essentially full ride
JHU - Accept, BME + Aid

<p>Yeah, minichellom, remember that yr11 grades definitely do count, if i can offer any good advice for aussies applyin to the US, its to keep your grades as high as possible from yr9-12, not just yr12</p>
<p>Stik
how did u cope with EC’s and SAT?
Any advice for that?</p>
<p>lol Sitk I have to disagree my grades SUCKED in years 9 and 10 except for a random 100 in maths first semester year 10 and I still got into some pretty darn good schools. They really care about an upward trend so if your year 9/10 grades aren’t that great then dont worry too much. Come to think of it my year 11 and 12 grades were not that great either. How the hell did I get into college? How ever I did it I don’t care I am just greatful.
Then again I didn’t get into any ivies</p>
<p>Beeish, don’t lose too much sleep over the rejection from brown and columbia
I guess u applied for Financial Aid right?
These two schools are historically aid-sensitive with international students…so…no worries1</p>
<p>Guess I’ll post this here for the other aussie applicants in later years =D</p>
<p>UAI: 98.7
SAT: 750M, 700CR, 660W (2110 Single seating)
ACT: 36S, 35M, 34R, 34E - 35Composite (My english sucks? @_@)
SAT 2: 800 Math IIC, 800 Physics, 760 Chemistry</p>
<p>I’ll update my accepted/rejected profile after I sort out my waitlists and stuff. =D</p>
<p>Oops, edit now that I’ve properly read the question: I did my SAT/ACT in October, and SAT 2 in December just after Year 12 exams. You might want to do it a little earlier though. Especially if you intend to take resits.</p>
<p>P.s. I strongly suggest taking the ACT. It is much more practical and requires less “SAT knowledge” as in. You can walk in there without ever opening an ACT book <em>cough</em> and still walk out with pretty good marks. The SAT on the other hand…</p>
<p>lol i didnt even know you could do ACT in australia
and my sat schedule was exactly same as u shoyz so i prob sat in the same room with you for the sat 2 in december and sat in october! lol i dunno if u can remember but i was the one that walked in late for sat 2 </p>
<p>anyway id get over the sats early so u can concentrate on year 12. it was hard having to study completely differnet subjects (i.e. sat and school work)</p>
<p>and huanbing - beeish is an american citizen so she wouldnt have been considered as a total international.</p>
