I am a student from Singapore who has just graduated from high school in 2014 and I am looking forward to apply to the two schools in Spring 2015 or Fall 2014.
My qualifications are
A B B for H2 Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry ( I know it is not really high but lets say in the mid range )
2120 for SAT 1 - 700 for Critical Writing/ 780 Math / 640 Writing
2 Years in Mathematics Society in Highschool with events and participations and stuffs
Family monthly Income of let say 5000 USD/ month
My question is what are my chances of getting into the two universities for this year
If I take a gap year, would I need to work on SAT - I think my CR+math is fine for now, but can still improve to perfect score - maybe high 2200 is in my reach.
Well in singapore they just guve out your grades and percentile so I suppose no gpa, but my percentile is like top 30% of my school as it is a top school in Singapore.
Well I am going to apply for next fall semester 2016, do you think I should grind my SAT more, or anything else? And also what should I do in this gap year period? Community services, do part time jobs ??
Whatever you would like to do that could strong your app. Do something you will like to do not for being impressive. If you want to take the SAT and try your best, then take it. Only if you know that you will get a higher score.
