<p>Im an international student from Pakistanand thinking of applying to America for my undergrad. But the thing is i cant afford the eduaction and ill probably need full financial aid which makes matters difficult. i plan to do engineering(electrical or mechanical). </p>

<p>My stats are:
Given my O levels 5 A's and 3 B's (A's in all physics,chem,maths and english though)
Given my As levels 3A's,physics,chem,maths)
Sat 2150(750M, 700 in both english sections)
Top 2% of class. The school does not have a GPA.
The grading system of school is very tough( the exams are made tougher than the actual O and A level exams)
Looking to give my Sat2(physics,chem,maths2) in Jan, probably get 800 in each(750 min)</p>

<p>EC: not too many, went to india for a essay writing competition,Hiking(does it count?), a good table tennis player (2nd best in school), helped in organizing events in school (farewells) taken part in model making competition of WWF and a science fair.Tutored my brother and his friends maths and the science subjects.(My school does not have any clubs so thats why they are missing).Done some community service 50(if standing outside a mosque and checking people by hand to prevent a terrorist from getting in, counts as one) about 50 hours.Also was part of a protest organizing commitee for 4 years(My main work is providing food to the protestors) and the one this year was about 25000 to 30000 people. Taken part in 2 science project competition.</p>

<p>Essay will be pretty good</p>

<p>Recomendations: they will be very good. </p>

<p>Another ting is that Yales engineering school is not regarded as the best amongst top schools so does it give me a slightly more chance?.</p>

<p>You stand a good chance. Personally, I think you have taken full advantage of the resouces you had at your disposal which is a good thing.</p>

<p>As far as Yale’s engineering school is concerned, there is no Yale engineering school. The Yale engineering majors are offered under the Yale College. And it won’t help you if you indicate on your application that you want to major in engineering.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about aid, just make sure you spend a good amount of time on the CSS pofile and your Income and Benefits Statement. Yale is need blind for internationals, so if you get in, you will get the aid you need.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Maybe you should contact or get information about current Yale students from Pakistan.
Below is an evil plan. I am not suggesting it, but if you feel like talking to a student…
Check the website Yale Admissions “International” page, and there is a video in which I saw a Pakistani student. Get his name and type it in directory. Given the exotic nature of the name it will be easy to find the student and contact! Don’t get your hopes up too much though.
Okay I am really bad…This is guilty.</p>
