<p>Being Indian certainty does not give you any advantage - probably a disadvantage.
Does your school have ranks? I think ranks matter more over GPA because the GPA could be inflated, whereas ranks measure you among your peers.</p>

<p>If you’re within the top 10% of your class and you apply ED, I would say ~50%</p>

3

<p>Since my school is so competitive, I am ranked in top 40%, though if you take my grades from the community colleges into account, I am at top 30%. Top 50% means u need a GPA of 3.6+. Other information:</p>

<p>I am getting a strong rec from my ENGR 10 teacher and APCS/Calculus Teacher (same teacher) if it matters.</p>

<p>please help :)</p>

5

<p>I think you have an okay chance. your class rank could be a bit higher and EC’s could be a bit better. I think your test scores are good enough.</p>

6

<p>its going to come down to your essay, so try super hard to shine your personality and why they should pick you! You’re AP scores are great for math/science really good though</p>

<p>Not even in your dreams.</p>
