<p>have you given your sat because you didnt include it in your score, your stats are good especially the 11th percentage cause i’ve seen most of the people’s percentage go down in in 11th. 10th std gpa?? Which board are you from?</p>

3

<p>oh stupid me
sat score is 2260
plan to push it above 2300 on next attempt</p>

4

<p>Okay, board?
And have you given the SAT II?</p>

5

<p>cbse
they introduced grades and percentiles last year
new stuff </p>

<p>do i need a sat 2?</p>

6

<p>Yes, you definitely need to give the SAT II. Give it in one science subject (physics/chem) and either Math I or II. Preferably II, because you’ll score higher.</p>

<p>Is this: Grade 11: 94.33% (PCMC) your final percentage?</p>

7

<p>uh huh
doing 12th now and deciding which colleges i have a remote chance of getting into
oh n i can pay like $25,000 tops
so not too much aid</p>

8

<p>Ah. Well thing is, UC Berkeley offers zero aid to internationals, and costs about 55k. Cornell is need-blind for Indian students, because of the Tata scholarship. Your grades are a fit for Cornell, and your ECs are just there. You are going to need great essays and recommendations.</p>

9

<p>wow great
and im working on developing software
its 3/4 complete
hardcore networking stuff
worth a mention on the application?</p>

10

<p>Oh definitely. Especially if your intended major is computer engineering.</p>

11

<p>i find this a little wierd you say you are in 12th this year and you gave your board last year even i gave it last year but i have raw percentage and individual marks for each subject the gpa was started this year. :-\ dont redo the sat your score is fine concentrate on your sat2 the last thing an adcom will do is take in a student merely because he has 40 more marks in sat.</p>

12

<p>also is that $25000 per year or for all four years?</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>Yea, I’m confused about this too.</p>

14

<p>I had marks too :confused: and 94.33 in 11th with PCM+whatever. Woah dude. That makes me wish I had studied more in 11th.</p>

15

<p>Rank 4- All India National Biotechnology Olympiad
^Government or some random private organization?</p>

16

<p>my 10th marks are 92.3%… but 10 gpa sounded better =)…and thats what is says at the end of the school report card as well</p>

<p>and the biotech olympiad was some private research org. not govt.</p>

17

<p>oh guys is it easier to get into english universities than american ones?
imperial college
university college or something</p>

18

<p>It’s easier if you do IB or A-Levels.</p>

<p>Those scumbag imperialists don’t like ISC or CBSE students.</p>

19

<p>^ Not true.</p>

20

<p>

</p>

<p>Actually its very true. Not the scumbag part, but the not liking ISC/CBSE is true. Colleges like LSE don’t even accept CBSE/ISC.</p>
