SAT II - 800 Maths II/ 780 Physics/ 760 Chem
GPA - 3.85
Major - Computer Engineering or Computer Science
Nationality - Indian
EC -
School webmaster
School's official photographer
Computer club official
Student govt.
Organized and taught in a summer workshop in computers
Good programmer - won many interschool competitions ( 5 or 6), in which about 25 school participate ( are inter- school competitions in U.S.A popular. and is it a big deal to win them there??)</p>

<p>I was talking to somebody about my chances, he said that i have many things against me like.. being International student, selecting a popular major like COE, low Critical Reading score. </p>

<p>So what do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>Your major does not matter. At all. Georgia Tech does not consider what major you're applying under for admissions. </p>

<p>That said, I'm not sure about the pros/cons of being an international as far as admissions are concerned, but if you were instate, or even out of state, I'd say you are in.</p>

<p>Oh I just noticed you also wanted to be chanced for UCB. To be honest, your SAT and GPA are both low, so I'd say Berkeley's a reach school for you. The fact that you're international makes it even harder since UCs heavily favor CA students.</p>
