Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Now my Stats:
SAT - Math:770, CR:560, W:570(Expecting 650 in CR & 620 in W in Oct SAT)
SAT II - Math 2: 730, Physics: 700
I do the IB program, and my subject choises are and my scores in it:</p>

<p>Math HL - 6
Chem HL - 6
Physics HL - 6
Environmental Studies SL - 7
English Lang and Lit SL - 5
German Ab initio SL - 5 </p>

<p>My school does not rank or calculate GPA, but to compare myself to others I calculated my GPA my self.
Junior Year: 3.4
Senior Year(First Quarter) - 3.63</p>

<p>These subject choices are the most rigorous in the IB diploma.</p>

<p>My school Gives a predicted IB Score for me since I am a full IB Diploma candidate.</p>

<p>I am approx. expecting 36-38/45</p>

<p>To give you guys an Idea about IB and its scores in universities, when UCLA came to my school their rep said a 38 predicted would be good/competitive, and Purdue said they needed 34-36 to be competitive.</p>

<p>I'm International & Applying for mechanical engineering.</p>

<p>I had a research internship at my field of interest and the supervisor will be writing me a recommendation letter.</p>

<p>I am doing a research myself and I will be sending in the abstract with the application.</p>

<p>I think all my recommendations will be good if not great. </p>

<p>Chess club (Leader)

<p>I'm Applying to Cornell ED, Purdue EA, Penn State UP Priority, UIUC Priority, UCLA, UCB, Georgia Tech.
1. How would you chance me based on my GPA? is my GPA good/bad for my choices?
2. Will Universities calculate the GPA or will they use IB scores?(my transcript has letter grades and number conversions?
3. How good are my SAT Subject Tests scores?
4. Can You Suggest Good Safeties for a tuition of about $30000 and my stats?</p>

<p>Chance me and answer the questions if possible. I'll chance back for sure.</p>

<p>Finally someone doing the IB diploma! I almost thought it was just me here! :)</p>

<p>Your junior year GPA is a little low, especially for cornell and UCB. However your senior year one looks decent, try to improve it even more.
Universities will probably use the IB scores, but I wouldn’t worry too much about that.
Your SAT II scores look ok. </p>

<p>Cornell: Reach
UCB: low reach
UCLA: high match
Georgiatech: High match
Purdue: Match
UIUC: Match
Penn state: Low match</p>

<p>Cornell ED: reach, less so if you get expected or better on SAT
UCB: reach, low reach if 650+ CR
UCLA: low-mid reach, high match if 650+ CR
Georgia Tech Engineering: high match, match if 650+ CR
Purdue: low match
UIUC: match
Penn State: low-mid match</p>

<p>Look into U of Alabama for a cheap safety. Give them a weighted GPA and be sure it’s 3.5+. With your current SAT of 1330 and a 3.5+ weighted they would give you 2/3rds tuition off. I have the same deal and it comes out to like $20,000 a year. You need to check and see if you are eligible as an international. I believe you are, but don’t quote me on it.</p>
