<p>So based on what I listed above, what are my chances at caltech,stanford,mit,wpi,conn,usc,bucknell,udelware? Thank you</p>
<p>If you get 650 on writing or reading it should be ok for your SATs scores.
Did you say on your application that you studied Ap classes by yourself? If you did, it's a good point, it shows that you have autonomy.
Moreover taking college classes is very good for the Resume.
Your ECs seem Ok, not quantity but quality.
I would say you have a pretty good chance everywhere. Of course Stanford and MIT are your reaches (reach for everybody, sorry!), calltech and USC seem to be match-reaches and the other one are good matches.
Over all, I think you have good chances, don't worry.</p>
<p>Caltech-reach
Stanford-reach
MIT-reach
WPI-Match
Conn--I'm assuming this is Connecticut College--Match
USC-Match-Reach but remember they give no aid to internationals
Bucknell-Match
Delaware-I guess match</p>
<p>conn college will consider my SAT2 scores. Which are 800x2. and some school don't even consider writing score. SO my Verbal and Math combined will give me a 1380. This score will put me in a better position, for example, I scored higher than 75% of students at WPI. So what I am really concerned about is my chances at Caltech,Stanford and MIT. I guess no one can really tell my chances, but I just want you to compare me with the people you know who got in similar schools. :)</p>
<p>how many years have you been in US?
If more than 3 years, your CR and writing are a little low.
If only 1 year or something, they are acceptable.
you have any USAMO or something?
How is your Dec. score?</p>
<p>We really can't give a prediction about schools like CIT, MIT, Stanford, because people with really diverse scores got in.. same goes for almost any college but those, ivies, and LAC are the most unpredictable. People with perfect scores sometimes get rejected and people with not-so-perfect scores get in...so , with 1380, you should have the same chance (that is, about 10-20%) as almost anybody else.</p>
<p>ER. i got lower in Dec SAT. Damn that test. O well. I have been here for like 2.5 years. But my school sucks pretty bad, no science or math ECs. I only took amc in 10th grade and got 100 something. So the highest award i got is regional level. do you think i can get some scholarship at schools like WPI?</p>
<p>they can also see your **** SAT I score...lol
Well, your competitions are not that striking.
How about your talents? like music, arts, athletic...?</p>
<p>"But it would be wrong if asians start majoring in history or english."</p>
<p>How is that wrong?? I am asian and i can't do math or science(highest i ever got in math and science courses was approximatly 67 and i had a tutor too), and i plan on doing a major in journalism and possibly history or political science and frankly i don't see anything wrong with that.</p>
<p>umm. it's definitely possible to major in english or social studies if you were born in this country. But for us true international students, it's going to be very hard to do that.</p>
<p>I m not really an athletic guy, but as I listed, I played 3 varsity sports during high school. Nothing really speical. I will just pray very hard and hope to get in. It will be very helpful if someone can comment on the chances of getting a scholarship at schools like WPI and USC,etc. Thanks</p>
