Hi guys,
International Student from India. I’m looking for a good Computer Science program. My scores :
ACT : 34 (36 Math, 34 Science, 33 English, 31 Reading )
SAT II : Math 800, Physics 780
11th grade : 85% (We don’t have the GPA system here.)
ECs :
Soccer U-17 Nationals. Several inter-school soccer certificates as well.
School Prefect in the 10th grade.
I changed my school in 11th grade an integrated course for an JEE (An Indian exam on math, physics, chemistry. Supposed to be one of the toughest exams ). It isn’t an usual institution. The major focus is on the entrance exam. Therefore, I wasn’t able to give as much time as my IB counterparts gave on extra curricular activities.
It’s a bit worrying. I’m planning to explain this situation in my application assuming it will make a difference. Nevertheless, my ACT score is supposed to be 99.26% percentile and SAT II scores are pretty good as well. Will that help me cover up my ECs?
I have few colleges in mind.
UCB, UCLA, CMU, UIUC, Cornell, Princeton, Purdue, GTech, USC, UT Austin.
I would like to know the reaches, best fits and safeties. I’m open to suggestion of other colleges as well. Please help me narrow down on the colleges, thank you!
