Chances at UPenn,Cornell,UMich,UIUC,UCLA,Gatech and Purdue

<p>Hey, im an international student in uae studying in a reputed international high school with over 28 branches over the world including us uk etc, my 1st sat score was 570V, 710m, and 2nd one was 670v,670m. im doing it again in jan, doin sat2s in dec. toefl score- 267/300. currently in grade 13, finished high school in grade 12. until now i have 6 aps and 2 AS levels(British)
AP Calc AB-5
AP Chem -5
AP Comp. sc-4
Ap Biology 4(did course on my own)
Ap Econ macro 3
AP english 2(***<em>!)
in gr 12 (senior yr), i did Physics, Chem, bio, calc, compsc, stats(course on my own) ,enon,english
I did 2 AS levels till now, As Math-A,As Biology-B(in gr11, accelerated course one of the only few)
in grade 11, did 4 olevels, phy a,chem a, english b,econ a
in gr 10, did 3 olevels, bio-A(accelerated course),Comp sc-A</em>,math A.
i did startes biology in gr11 and did my olevel then as level then the AP(on my own), i was one year ahead of everyone else cause you had to pass this test studying over th esummer for th egr 10 material on ur own to be allowed. i also did stats on my own in gr 12, and i was the only person who did stats and ap bio on their own.</p>

<p>Grades 9 thru 12, my highschool grades were A-,A, A-,B+(i always had a lot of burden)
I was a Senior prefect in gr 11, in grade 12 i became the head of Office management dept in the Student life organization in our school, and the Asst. Head of the Academics dept. i helped in making the yearbook, plus i volunteered at the bookstor e befor school started.</p>

<p>In gr 13 id be doing 3 more Aps, calc bc, Comp sc. AB, and Ap physics b
i would also be completing a atotal of 4 and a half a levels, in math, phy,chem,bio plus an AS in further pure.</p>

<p>So finally, what are my cahnces at these universities (for engineering),UPENN,CORNELL, GEORGIATECH,UIUC,UCLAPURDUE AND UMICH.

<p>jarule:</p>

<p>UPenn: Reach
Cornell: Reach
Georgia Tech: Slight Reach (?)
UIUC: Match
UCLA: Reach (out of state)
Purdue: Match
UMich: Match</p>

<p>what other schools are good for engineering</p>

<p>upenn isnt that great so it wouldnt be that hard to get in</p>

<p>btw my sat verbal scores arent 570 then 670,theyre 470 then 570.
what do u think my chances are now</p>

<p>anyone out there?</p>

<p>Jarule: Trust us. Penn is a reach. It's number 5 in the country.</p>

<p>im switching upenn with wisconsin university, do u guys think my chances would be great?
(Thanks to Mr. Alexander, such a nice lad he is)</p>

<p>bump.................</p>

<p>virginia tech, florida tech all good safeties</p>

<p>however, i think purdue is a reach</p>

<p>my final list is Cornell,Wisconsin,umich, iuic,gatech,purdue.
do u think i should add Virginia tech or florida tech. if so, which one is a relatively better? and whose graduates get better jobs in general?</p>

<p>bump.......................</p>

<p>in my school whoever applies to purdue gets in (nearly). Over here the impression of purdue is that they accept a lot of students but the ones who arent good enough drop out really soon. thats probably because the fees for international students is really high and they like admitting a lot of them but at the same time only the best graduate.</p>
