<p>Hi!
I'm a senior in India, and I really need a very substantial amount of aid for college. </p>
<p>I am a pretty good student.
I've taken the SAT only once, 2190 (m:710; cr:760; w:720) but I'm taking it again on November 8th.
I've already given the Lit subject test and got an 800, and will be giving a second subject test, probably world history, in December. I am applying for either Psychology, International Relations, or PolSci. Not sure yet.</p>
<p>We don't have GPAs here, but my predicted grades are very high:
English: 95%
Sociology: 92%+; I'm lowballing here.
Psychology: around 90%- probably higher.
Economics: 90%
Math: 80% but that was due to me being sick on exam day, they'll improve by 5-10% or so in the December evals.</p>
<p>btw, we only have 5 subjects in junior and senior year, and there is no concept of AP classes.
My 10th grade Board marks were also good.</p>
