Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm an international student studying in Middle East. My high school does not offer any AP Honors but the classwork is AP level. I'm in top 5-6% of the class with over 150 students in total. I want to be an electrical engineer.</p>

<p>My scores are:
SAT: 1910
TOEFL: 105
SAT Subject: Math Lvl2: 790, Physics: 780, Chemistry: 760
High school offers no gpa after class 10
Class 9 gpa: 9.8 (out of 10)
Class 10 gpa: 10 (out of 10)
Class 11 and Class 12 are on the basis of percentile. So even a 70% student can get A if class avg is low.</p>

<p>ECs:
National swimmer
High school swimming champion ( for 5 years)
Science fest winner
Participated in dances, dramas, debates and other cultural activities.
Various relief camps
Director Science
Received Scholar awards at high school for 5 consecutive years.</p>

<p>LORs:
Really good LORs from:

<p>I think you have most of your match/reaches right, but UCLA, UPenn, Carnegie and Cornell are reaches because of your SAT. please chance be back! <a href=“Chance me for USC, Notre Dame, Boston College, Duke, Georgetown - #12 by breindy - Chance Me / Match Me! - College Confidential Forums”>Chance me for USC, Notre Dame, Boston College, Duke, Georgetown - #12 by breindy - Chance Me / Match Me! - College Confidential Forums;

3

<p>Even UCSD because it’s getting more and more selective. I got tons of friends with 2200 SATs and didn’t get into UCSD</p>

4

<p>@alafae I know UCSD is getting more selective but I believe I have a good gpa and ECs. National Swimmer is a big accomplishment. My LORs are amazing and essays too. So hopefully.</p>

<p>UMich (EA) (reach)
GAtech (EA) (reach)
UIUC (EA) (reach)
Purdue University (EA) (match)
UCLA is a reach because SAT isn’t high enough.
UCSD low reach.
PennState (Honors program: do not consider SAT, just high school grades and essays) (match)
UT, Austin (match)
UMinn (match)
Carnegie Mellon
Cornell-raech</p>

<p>Do you need FA?</p>

<p>I’d say you have them right, but UCLA would probably be a reach. Same goes for UPenn, Carnegie, and Cornell.
Chance me?

<p>One of my friends who didn’t get into UCSD had a full mark IB prediction, excellent ECs too. I’m just saying it to ask you not to underestimate it, I guess it boils down to whether you have appealing essays!</p>

8

<p>I agree with everyone else; the SAT score detracts, but you seem otherwise very set academically and your swimming is incredible!</p>

<p>Here are my honest predictions:
UMich (EA) (reach) - Accepted
GAtech (EA) (reach) - Accepted/Waitlisted
UIUC (EA) (reach) - Waitlisted
Purdue University (EA) (match) - Accepted
UCLA (match) - Waitlisted/Rejected
UCSD (match) - Waitlisted
PennState (Honors program: do not consider SAT, just high school grades and essays) (match) - Accepted
UT, Austin (match) - Accepted
UMinn (match) - Accepted
UPenn - Waitlisted/Rejected
Carnegie Mellon - Waitlisted
Cornell - Waitlisted/Rejected</p>

<p>Please chance me back!

<p>@skslxxbjk Can I get into PennState Honors as they do not consider SAT and my recommendations say i’m top 1% with A+ in everything?</p>

10

<p>Your swimming is incredible! But SAT is on lower side. Do you plan to take any test again? or maybe ACT might be a better choice (if you don’t mind late fee or taking test again)</p>

<p>Accepted
UMich (EA)
UT, Austin
PennState
Purdue
UMinn</p>

<p>Waitlisted
UCLA (likely)
GAtech
UIUC (EA)</p>

<p>Rejected
CMU
Cornell
UPenn</p>

<p>UCLA
UCSD</p>

<p>Hmmm… I’m not sure about these two. A lot of qualified students are rejected. subpar-scored students are accepted. I guess anything can happen with UC. One of my friend got 1700 and was accepted to UCLA but she had killer gpa. </p>

11

<p>@notyourflower Are you certain I will get UMich CoE EA?
A friend of mine got in with lower stats but his overall gpa and ECs were like mine.
My LORs are amazing.
What do you think about PennState Honors? they do not see SAT. Only gpa with LORs and ECs?</p>

12

<p>They are mostly reaches for you. Purdue may be a high match. UMinn may be a match. All the other engineering schools are reaches.</p>

13

<p>I’d say you have a good shot at most of these schools. UCLA and UCSD may be a low reach though, and all the IV’s are reaches for pretty much everyone lol.
