<p>NCC is like ROTC and I have got a recommendation from the commanding officer too</p>
<p>Well I have kinda messed up my junior years grades I have an avg of 70% but I have been getting As before right from freshman yr. My final exam is not over yet, so still hope left. By the time I apply I will have given 2 exams of senior yr so I guess I can show improvement there.I have really good recommendation letters too. So considering the above and that i get a decent score in SAT/SATII what are my chances? I really wanna get into aerospace engg.(since I was around 10 yrs of age)</p>
<p>Well in Class XI I have an avg of 75% but my final exams are not over yet, they are in march.</p>
<p>And yes my full list of ECs:</p>

<p>dude. this is IIT - illinois institute of technology not indian institute of technology - Let the CCers not fool u with their negativities. In such an unselective institute ur in. But i wont advise you to apply, becoz
1. its not very good by ur standards
2. i dont think it fulfills aid to ur requirement.</p>
<p>yea ur damn rite Indian IIT suckss down to hell...i meant illinois is not like IIT in its selectivity...</p>
<p>For aerospace...Safeties-like Iowa State...cheap and cud give sum schols...
Purdue is a match, brilliant at aerospace and cheap.....dont know bout aid thou ...
For Reach,sky's the liMIT..</p>
<p>P.S..i dont think embry riddle gives aid, nor is it too reputed in aerospace..</p>
<p>its not. Its only the best in those colleges whose highest degree is a bachelor's or masters.
Check out the overall aerospace rankings..its way behind.</p>
<p>kul...10,000 is gud enuf for many colleges i think....if u could arrange 7000 more, u cud go to Purdue!</p>
<p>VA Tech course seems attractive...do they give enuf aid??
paying 10,000 is also gud enuf for Iowa state, i think they give as much as 10,000 schols...</p>
<p>Advantages of doing mechanical..not if u're really into aerospace...generally mechanical provides a much broader and stronger base for pursuing many types of engineering fields...but if u really luv aerospace,thats that!</p>
<p>o we have to send grades of the final examinations of the year OR a list of all the exams taken throughout the year in that grade?</p>
<p>Because here in India its the final exam that covers the full syllabus that has been taught throughout the year and has maximum marks. while the unit tests, conducted at alternate months just cover a few chapters and have max. marks around 40 while the final exam has max. marks around 100</p>
<p>What should I do?send everything or just the final exam grades of the year?</p>
<p>i stink on my 40 marks test I have an avg of 68% on them. But I was really cool on my finals!. What to do?</p>

<p>1st thing...US admission officers are flexible with international marksheets...coz they dont know the system in school-to-school detail. its an added advantage if ur from a skul where no one else is applying to the university. </p>
<p>i would suggest sending like, 2 marksheets of 11th(1st term or 2nd term perhaps), 1 final of 10th and 1 midterm of 12th, and final of 9th if they're really gud..coz they like to see more of the 11th marksheets...
the crux is that they shud look like all ur main maksheets, and not like you've skipped something.</p>
<p>Another thing...theres a lot of time for that...if u live near a metro city, visit one of the US University fairs organized in India, and talk to the admission officers of different universities of ur chances,etc, even if u're not applying to them. gives you a general idea of their mindframes ;)</p>
<p>and if they find out something is missing are they going to notify me or straight away reject me?</p>
<p>Adding to it is that my school doesnt send a transcript so they are going to do as I say! So I will tell them to print my half yearly marksheet and final marksheet of class XI. And will ask em to gimme a really good recommendation letter, my teachers are going to sign on anything I tell them to :D </p>
<p>Well what I have planned till now is I am going to apply to a few good ones including VT,WPI,RPI and Iowa state and purdue too.</p>
<p>If i dont get into the good ones I am going to take a purdue student loan for the first year and try and get an intership!</p>
