Hey guys, I am an international student and I will be applying to certain Universities in the USA as well as Canada for Bachelors of Computer Science.
My SAT 1 score is 1310/1600 and essay is 4/2/5 (I will retake the SAT 1)
I will also be taking SAT subject physics.
As for my academics I scored in around the 80’s in both my 9th and 10th grade.
However I faced a extenuating circumstance in my 11th grade. Due to medical reasons(chicken pox), The ministry of education board gave me a 14 day quarantine period. As a result, I couldn’t write my 11th Grade Finals exam. I wasn’t given a retest to compensate for my Final Exam. My overall percentage dropped down drastically as the final exam comprises of 50% of the overall grades. I scored a 52% overall in 11th.
My Extracurricular’s include:
->Tennis
I am the school captain as well as reached the semifinals in the nationals interschool competition. I’ve won around 4 club tournaments with 5 runner up’s.
->C++ team
Me and my team took part in a programming competiton in a university. We reached the final round and bagged the second place from out of 60 schools.
->Volunteering.
I volunteered in a Clean up campaign organized by the government in 9th grade.
I have also volunteered in distributing food to labourers during Ramadan and in an orphanage.
->Internship
I got a paid internship in a Logistics company where I worked alongside a IT technician. I spent 8 hours a day mostly troubleshooting software related issues and managing the website.
My Universities are as follows:
