<p>Because everybody applying to those reach schools has similar scores and grades. Imagine selecting 2000 kids from about 30000 applicants with the same kind of grades and SAT scores. Why should the admissions officer accept OP over someone else? That’s the question your application should answer.</p>
<p>Thank you,International 95</p>
<p>What should I do to get an astrophysics major in the previously told colleges?</p>
<p>Reply guys,will chance back.</p>
<p>There are two ways through which you can make your application different. The first one is through your ECs. Now I do not know what qualifies as an astrophysics EC, but I guess you would be knowing that. Do ECs that you feel like doing. Don’t do them just for the application. Adcoms can spot ECs that have been done just for the application. The second way is through your essay. Pour your heart out on the essay. They’ll get to know you as a person through the essay. Hence, it’s extremely important that you convey yourself.</p>
<p>Thank you RainMan999.Tell me some more.</p>
<p>Tell me some forums that help me raise my EC on astrophysics.</p>
<p>Forums that help you raise your EC on astrophysics? I’m sorry but I didn’t get your question.</p>
<p>I meant on forums that gives work or guidelines to students.</p>
<p>MIT’s gonna be a tough one tbh if you don’t have really competitive international math stuff under your belt. They tend to look for those, so if you have any, or if you still have the chance to prove yourself at any competition, do it.</p>
<p>Harvard and the rest are going to be reaches, as they all are for even the most outstanding of applicants. </p>
<p>Try to do your best in the SAT as you’ll have limited chances to retake if ever you don’t do too well. You’ll still have to take the subject tests for those colleges so that leaves only one more test date for a possible retake. (and how the heck will you take the AP’s and TOEFL too? That’s quite a handful bro.)</p>
<p>If you do well, you’ll be a solid applicant, and an acceptance in one or more would not be far from reality.</p>
<p>Sorry, but I am not aware of such forums.</p>
<p>Kk,thank you guys.Can you guys tell me more?</p>
<p>Reply please.</p>
<p>Now I don’t really know what astrophysics is, but this may help: a certain Indian student from the class of 2017 discovered a comet. He was accepted at Stanford. Not everyone can do something as groundbreaking as discovering a comet, but yes, doing something along these lines may help alot.</p>
<p>I am researching on a new theory which deals on astrophysics.If it succeeds do I stand a chance in Stanford,mit,Princeton etc.?</p>
<p>Are you making your own theory? Well if you are and if it is correct and if it gets published and is groundbreaking or something, then I’d say you stand a chance at Stanford and Princeton. However, nothing can guarantee you a spot at these colleges simply because they reject a number of outstanding applicants every year. Also, I cannot comment about MIT as MIT mainly takes Olympiad medallists from India.</p>
<p>Thank you,I have been working on this theory from my 8th standard.I am sure that it will reach success.��</p>
<p>Can you guys tell me some more national or international olympiads?</p>

<p>Thank you,do I have chance in the previously told universities if I could not get kvpy and IO?I mean only with a successful theory.</p>
