<p>As you can see..my UW is a 3.1. I want to go to UIUC or NYU for Bus/Econ. If I go to some school in India and repeat 11th grade, will I have chances at better schools? If so, which ones? </p>
<p>well… the condition in India is a bit different as compared to the rest of the world, your schooling will not matter anyhow in joining a university. Schools of india provide only a medium of learning and the final examination is merely a qualifier or a certificate that you are eligible for further studies. Universities of India (IIT’s, BITS, VIT, NIT, SRM) will only consider your merit in their own entrance examination. </p>
<p>Schools in India take everybody. That much I can assure you.</p>
<p>But if you are interested in NUS (National University of Singapore ), it too considers CBSE(Central Board of Secondary Education) 12th results, but that too a score >90% .</p>
<p>If you want admission in UIUC or NYU, India can be a good place where you can levitate your grade to higher levels and increase your chances for the goal. Important thing, join the most reputed school in the city you are in, because there is no reputed school at national level , exept CMS or DPS. Depending upon which city you are in, If you are in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore etc. you’ll get chances for exploring your extracurricular side, and that would help you in your application. The more you go to the under developed sides, well of course, it wont help your cause.</p>
<p>The point is stay focused and determined and you would certainly get what you want. After all, India surely is a promising land.</p>
<p>–…“want to move”…- that is just a sentiment that your parents are expressing. They are being too dramatic as your SAT and ACT scores as a domestic student/intl say otherwise. Their decision will truly put your future in a hurdle. Perhaps their decision might not be based on grades but your behaviour, so best to improve that. I don’t believe NYU may be in the mix of colleges you might get into but it doesn’t hurt to apply. However, you should realize that rather than going to an expensive institute for pursuing a mere business degree will not be of any benefit to you in the future as MBAs are a dime a dozen and can be completed after college giving you variety when combined with a non-business degree pursued in undergrad. Going to another country, starting anew, no matter how good the resources and at the age you are is a huge mistake. When you go to college and study hard, you will reflect on high school as the most innocuous experience of your life. Your own state contains 2 of the best business schools in the world. You shouldn’t need to go to Singapore/another state. Go to a fair college that you know you will get into (save the debt for grad), complete well, if possible you can then transfer to a top school if your college gpa is noteworthy of a studious individual; leave it to the top college to decide if you are competitive or not. You should also realize that top schools could admit you but you need to be able to handle their curriculum as it is quite different and self-taught in some way as most students admitted will not party all day. Trying to use your first college as a chance to teach yourself how to study properly is what you need and once you master that, you should not have any problems hopefully from there. </p>
