I am the 4th ranker of the world’s largest inter-school quiz, Aqua regia which included more than 140,000 students. Have been teaching Physics poor and underprivileged children from 2 years, Maths and Science Quiz champion for 2 consecutive years at school level, special award by principal for excellence in Physics, debate champion at school level, worked on a research project on Electroceramics with a college prof. Collected a fund of 20000 INR for Nepal Flood relief,organized a peace rally after communal riots in my city and delieverd a speech in the rally, founder of StarGazers Club in my society.
First student from my city to apply to Colgate and first student from my school to write SAT and apply for US universities. Very strong recom letters. Expecting a “once in a Life-time student” sentence from both Physics and Maths teachers.
Preferred Major- Physics
I am applying for Colgate as ED, but I’m keeping Reed and Macalaster as a safety. So, Can I get into them?
2 things:
• This question is pointless until you have test scores. Sure, you can expect a certain score, just as I expect to win Powerball this week. Doesn’t mean either will happen.
• It’s naive for anyone to call Reed and Macalester a safety.
You can’t win @skieurope, because this week is mine.
GPA is weak.
Not sure that school level awards count for anything.
I would call both Reed and Macalester a stretch.
For an aid-seeking international, both Macalester and Reed are reaches. For non-aid seeking internationals, you are still among the weaker applicants because your awards are school-wide only.
