My profile:-

I’m an international student. Financial aid is not necessary.

At school, in 9th & 10th grade my marks were in between 85-90% . In 11th, they were about 70% (I have taken up Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science). I’m currently in 12th grade.

SAT scores: 1250/1600 on the New SAT. 700 on Math Level 2 Subject Test.

Extra-Curricular’s/Work experience:-

  • I have made 3 games for iOS which are on the App Store(Two of them have a 5-star rating).
  • I run a news website/blog about technology news and stuff with a friend of mine; it just hit 1 million registered users.
  • I also started a company in January 2016 with a partner, called 'fworld' which is sort of a fashion consultancy; my job there though is social media marketing, making the company's app( which I'll work on in a few months), and the company website which is almost done.
  • I also have a YouTube channel on which i post gadget/tech review videos, etc; the channel has over 200,000 views and a thousand subscribers now.
  • I have attended to 2-3 Model United Nations Conferences(One at Harvard).
  • I have also attended a robotics summer camp at NASA in which there was also a competition that my team won.
  • I have done 30 hours of community service.
  • I have also completed a 45-day internship.
  • I also designed a website for a big event that my school was having recently.
  • Done 40-50 hours of community service.

Also, please suggest other good universities… My intended major is Computer Science.

Your extracurriculars are very good. I would suggest retaking the SAT. I’m not sure if a 70% is a good score in your country, seeing as in the U.S., that would technically be a C- average. Are you taking AP Computer Science Principles or AP Computer Science A? Do you know what your UC GPA is? One college I would definitely recommend is the University of California, Irvine.

To universities, GPA and SAT are King.

You have a lot of ECs which could be viewed, by the adcoms, as being the priority over grades and academics.

Given your SAT scores and grades, as an international student, these have to be better than the “average” advanced applicant to even be considered for admission, especially at the really tough schools.

Grades come first; your grades are showing a downward trend, so that doesn’t bode well for your chances at the UCs and USC.
