<p>Hi, I'm going to be a freshman next fall.
I am planning to apply Stanford, MIT, GeorgiaTech and UCLA, since I really want to get into Electrical Engineering and/or Computer Sciences.
Seeing as there are already so many experienced people on this forum, could someone realistically tell me how my chances are?</p>
<p>SAT: 2190 (M: 800, W: 670, CR: 720)
SAT Subject Tests: 2400 (Maths Level 2: 800, Physics: 800, Chemistry: 800)
School Topper till Grade 11, 12th results in May.
No dearth of extra-curricular activities.
Will be giving TOEFL in October.
Letter of recommendations from Counselor and Maths Teacher.</p>
<p>If you need any more info, please do ask!
Cheers!</p>
<p>What are your EC’s? </p>
<p>By “Indian”, do you mean “born and living in India”? Or do you mean that your parents are of Indian descent and you live in the US?</p>
<p>You might want to retake that SAT - aim for a 2200 at least (2300+ would be optimal since you seem to be an international student). </p>
<p>If you are an international student (not knowing your ECs of course, those are important!):
MIT: Reach (it is for everyone)
Stanford: Reach
Georgia Tech: Low Reach / High Match
UCLA: Low Reach / High Match</p>
<p>As I said, this is not considering any EC activities!</p>
<p>Neither. I’m born in India, and living in the UAE, so yes, I’m an international student.</p>
<p>I’m retaking the SAT in October to improve to as much as I can.
I’m not very familiar with the application process, so I don’t really understand ECs.
I have been working with the Emirates Environment Group, the national environment agency, for the last 5 years, and also with the Dubai Centre for Special Needs and the SPecial Needs Foundation for the same duration.</p>
<p>Can you give me a few more examples of ECs, so I can find and tell some more?
Also, if GeorgiaTech and UCLA are low reach, which universities, according to you, would be optimal, judging by the scores that you see? :P</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
