<p>Ummmm, I really don't know what to tell you. You're numbers are strong, you're EC's are great, and your recommendations will be excellent Im sure. So, you have a great a chance as the rest of us... actually, it'll probably be less since you are an international, but hey, what do I know?</p>

7

<p>indian culture? you are in France.</p>

8

<p>sounds great to me.</p>

9

<p>well believe it or not amnesia, frenchies actually really enjoy indian stuff. Whether it's food, movies or music, everything related to India is pretty popular</p>

10

<p>bumppppp...</p>

11

<p>I have a French aunt.</p>

<p>EDIT: By marriage</p>

12

<p>if you have a french aunt, then one of your parents should be french, no?</p>

13

<p>Did you read the edit? She married into the family...we're not blood related. I'd like to be part French though.</p>

14

<p>oh ok!
so which uni's are you applying to?
what do you think of my chances?</p>

15

<p>Sorry...I'd say you have a good shot based on the fact that I've met people who've gotten into Stanford and Yale and they had lower scores, and less academic achievements. But I'm only 15, and I post here because I fear college.</p>

16

<p>oh, just a word of advice, if ur half not indian, dont try and make it obvious that you're indian, cuz indians get screwed by AA.</p>

17

<p>dont you need a science SAT II? other than that i would say you have a slightly better chance than the average CC HYPS applicant.</p>

18

<p>looks good... i think you should have taken an SAT II in another language besides french (especially since u claim to be multilingual)... because if u live in france i think theyd assume ud get an 800...</p>

19

<p>"38 hours of class per week"</p>

<p>urr is it just me, or don't we ALL have that time load? and your chances.. hmm.. depends, you don't seem to have a hoook</p>

20

<p>lol 38 hours is what we all have! actually more like 35, but i ussually stay after for ecs etc. maybe its special in france. anyways, you have a shot. good luck. also take another sat2, if you live in france, it would be an embaressment to not get a perfect score.</p>
