<p>Hi.......i think the title sums up what i am about to ask.</p>

<p>I am an International student, currently studying 12th Grade and follow the indian syllabus</p>

<p>I just wanted to know what my chances are in getting admission into for Aeronautical Engineering/Aerospace Engineering for the scholars or honors program.</p>

<p>I don’t have GPA grading in my school. The grading is purely based on marks obtained:
9th - 85% (maths - A, science - A, hindi - B, english - A, social studies - A)
10th - 90% (maths - A, science - A, hindi - B, english - A, social studies - A)
11th - 75% (maths - C, chemistry - B, physics - A, english - A, computer- A)</p>

<p>I had also recieved a half-fee scholarship in grade 11.</p>

<p>ACTIVITIES :
I have been selected to attend the Global Young Leaders’ Conference (GYLC) in Washington/New York this year.
Swimming
Singing
Made Robot for science exhibition
Created a presentation on the periodic table
Helped the team in coming 3rd in an inter-school robot competition
Seminar of Ozone Layer and pollution
Seminar on the game of Hangman made by C++
Project on Tessellation
I have been learning Indian Carnatic Music vocal for over 10 years and have given a 2 and half hour concert. I have also been learning Carnatic Music violin for over 3 years.
Participated in the talent contest held in school in the category of indian classical violin.</p>

<p>SAT SCORES:
MATH - 750
CR - 650
W - 600</p>

<p>Going to give SAT II's in November. Will get above 750 in maths and chemistry, thinking of whether to give physics.</p>

<p>Will appreciate all responses. good as well as bad.</p>

<p>Thanks all.</p>

<p>i think the fact that you're international is a HUGE plus. the fact that your grades have gone down from 10th-11th isn't really a good thing, but i think the other stuff and the international overshadows that. stress the musical aspect as well, since that's something that sets you apart (i think half the students at UMD have made a presentation on the periodic table at some time in their life).</p>
