Chance me for Stanford, Harvard etc.

<p>Not to brag but I've got pretty kick-ass EC' in the field of technology, showing leadership qualities and I am in 11th grade and yet to give SAT.</p>

<p>Im preparing myself vigorously for SAT and hoping to score 2000+. (Although in practice tests I only get about 1800 yet)</p>

<p>However, my GPA may not be that good. The total percentage I got in 11th half yearly terminal exams is 70%. Much of this is because of poor handwriting and presentation in environmental projects and low marks in physics. I get 85%+ in IT and ECO which are the subjects in which I'm interested in higher education.</p>

<p>I know its incredibly hard to get into Stanford and Harvard but please chance me, if being hopeful is even realistic or not.</p>

<p>Stanford and Harvard are reaches for everyone. But with a 1800-2000, it’s an insanely high reach (especially for applicants from India because people generally have very high scores).</p>

<p>What about UCLA? And scholarships?</p>

<p>Well you haven’t taken the SAT yet, and you say you’ve got pretty kickass EC’s but that holds meaning only to you since you haven’t told us what exactly they are. Also, assuming you get between 1800-2000 on your SAT, chances for Stanford and Harvard and almost nill, and are pretty slim for UCLA/scholarships as well.</p>

<p>Where all are you looking for scholarships? UCLA doesn’t offer to Internationals if that was your question.</p>

<p>Thanks for your responses. I’ll make a new thread once I take the SAT. </p>
