Chance me for colleges

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi, I am a American resident with Indian education (i am an Asian) I want to know if i can get admission into my selected colleges . I apply in October this year.
Assume that i write all the essays and stuff with average-good rating.</p>

<p>Moreover does my international education and race affect my chance. If yes please tell how and is it good or bad that i am internationally educated.</p>

<p>------------ACADEMICS---------------</p>

<p>-grade 10 = 9.2/10</p>

<p>-grade 11 = 1st term 79.2% ( INDIAN HIGH SCHOOL IS VERY TOUGH )<br>
= 2nd term-75%.
= Overall - 75.something %</p>

<p>-grade 12 = will send scores of 1st term as 2nd term result will come in may 2014.</p>

<p>-SAT I = CR-650, Writing-660, Math-790 .
= total - 2100/2400 and 1440/1600 (CR+Maths).</p>

<p>-SAT II = will give physics and Math IIC. expecting greater than 780 in both.</p>

<p>------------COCURRICULARS----------</p>

<p>-Volunteer work in an organisation promoting education among poor. ( each one teach one)
here i basically taught those who couldn't go to school basic English and Math. Have the certificate.</p>

<p>-Was in my school football team (class 8) and then in basketball Team (class 11 and 12) though i do not have any certificates for that. I rarely went for matches as i was too busy in academics. ( INDIAN EDUCATION FOCUSES BASICALLY ON ACADEMICS )</p>

<p>-LORs from physics teacher and math teacher(who buy the way also teaches in a Engineering college so that would make a impact)</p>

<p>------------PERSONAL---------------</p>

<p>-I am pretty good a Maths (specially calculus).i am gonna include that in SOPs and essays (somehow).</p>

<p>I will apply to -:
1. Clemson university
2. GA Tech ( Priority college will go for Early action )
3. UPenn
4. MIT ( no chance i know )
5. Duke
6. Purdue
7. UIUC
8. Cornell
9. NorthWestern
10. Carneige Mellon
11. University Of Michigan
12. Yale
Please chance me on my stats above. I Dont have much Co-Curr. as indian education is all about academics. My question is would the people who decide who will get selected know about this Indian education pattern?
Thank you in advance for your considerations.</p>

<p>Clemson:Low match/Match
GA Tech: High match
Purdue: Match</p>

<p>Everyone else is a reach.</p>

<p>Perhaps U Toronto would be doable…</p>

3

<p>what does reach exactly mean?? Is it bettre than low match/match ??</p>

4

<p>No, reach means it’s more unlikely to get in than match. Low match is better than match, which is better than high match. </p>

<p>Safety means you are very likely to get in</p>

5

<p>match is bettre than high match? i dont understand the chance ratings at all</p>

6

<p>Yeah, order goes like this:</p>

<p>Safety
Low Match
Match
High Match
Low Reach
Reach
High Reach</p>

<p>It’s confusing to differentiate, but you definitely want to have a mix of safeties, matches, and reaches. A person should not apply to all reaches because he/she could potentially get rejected from each of them.</p>
