heyoo. so I’m from Bangladesh (close to India) I am going to apply to colleges this October and i really wanna know where i stand. so my first choice is Cornell and second is john Hopkins. So my cv is as follows
I got 6 A* and 2 A in my gcses, and 4 As in my A levels
I am in my country’s u18 national chess team. i am an international master with a peak rating of 2110.
i am in my school soccer team as goalie.
I’ve done 2 muns. got best delegate in one. Chaired 2, and became regional ambassador in one.
i have a black belt 1st dan in tae kwon do
That’s basically it. i haven’t given my sats yet
i wanna know what my chances are and what sat score i should aim for. Any comment will be greatly appreciated
Your chances are fine… it remains to be seen with the new SAT what your score needs to be but with the old scale you should aim for 2200+ to be within their ranges. If you’re looking at Cornell and Hopkins I’d also recommend Northwestern.
By the way, I’m a bit confused by your chess rating - FIDE International Masters are typically rated 2400+. Do you mean you’re a National Master in Bangladesh?
