<p>Hi, I am an US citizen who has studied in America till 5th grade and currently I am in my senior year of high school in India. I took the SAT and 2 Subject tests and here are the scores:
Math- 700
Reading- 630
Writing- 670
Math level 2: 800
Biology M: 720</p>

<p>In India we dont have GPA but i could say it is between 3.0 and 3.5</p>

<p>here are my extra-curriculars:
Basketball school team captain and State level player
Soccer school team goalie
Throwball national championship
State level scout
Director of high school play
Editor in chief of Yearbook
1st prize in all 4 high school Science fairs
School debate team
School band member- Drums
Alot of community service including AIDS foundation
Work experience at a doctors clinic
Work experience at a Book store</p>

<p>I have chosen Biology/neuroscience as a major in most colleges.
here are some colleges i have applied to:
USC, UCs, BU, Carnegie mellon, UIUC, Purdue, Drexel, Ann harbour.
WHAT DO YOU THINK MY CHANCES ARE?</p>

<p>CAN U PLEASE SUGGEST SOME OTHER COLLEGES THAT I CAN APPLY TO KEEPING IN MIND MY SCORES AND THAT I WANT TO DO BIOLOGY?</p>

<p>I would really appreciate your help. Thanx alot. I would also love to return the favour to anyone.</p>

<p>Are you sure about that GPA range? It seems too low for your SAT scores but if that is correct then…</p>

<p>most of the UCs are a high reach. I would say UC Santa Cruz and Riverside are matches with Merced being a safety.</p>

<p>USC is a high reach, like I said if your GPA is accurate then that’s pretty low for the school and your SAT score is a little low too. </p>

<p>As far as schools to consider in california that might be a better match for your gpa, I would check out University of San Diego (good for bio!), University of San Francisco, Chapman University (dont know how good they are for science though), Azusa Pacific, Cal Poly Pomona, etc…</p>

<p>Thank you so much for replying. I wouldnt bet on the approximate GPA i gave you. Without the GPA what do you think my chances are in USC, UCs, and the other NON-california schools i said- Carnegie, NYU, Purdue, etc.???</p>

<p>Can you suggest non-california schools too? Dont consider the GPA. thanx alot</p>

<p>Hmm well your SAT score is still a little low for USC, they usually take 2100+</p>

<p>NYU looks good if you can afford the crazy costs to go there (school is pricey with limited financial aid resources)</p>

<p>Unfortunately i don’t know too much about non-California schools.</p>
