<p>Hey I really need some help ....</p>

<p>Im an a greencard holder, but in India studying my A-levels (CIE) ....currently just gave my AS level exams and now going to give my A2 level in octo/novem sessions.</p>

<p>My IGCSE grades (10th) were all As in maths and all 3 sciences
1 A+ in economics and B in english and a C in french.</p>

<p>I expect my grades for the exams i gave ATLEAST a B in maths and physics
Chemistry I'm getting an A for sure and a C in english. Those are the 4 subjects I've taken.</p>

<p>I gave my SATs got a 1850....ard 600 in everything...I plan to give them again...
gave SATII - MathII and chem ...waiting for those results...</p>

<p>I really want to do chemical engineering was thinking UC - Santa Barbara or Univeristy of Austin or Berkerly.</p>

<p>My extracurricular Activies are:</p>

<p>I ve worked as an assistant tuition teacher for about a year and a half ..usually 4 or 5 graders ..and some 11th grades (my batch) for chem .. because my friends find me really good at it.</p>

<p>I work at an association called MIE - My India Empower ...where we teach slum kids of all ages.. mainly english and a few basics of maths and science .</p>

<p>I host benefit parties for India Blind Association about every 3 months if I can fit it in.</p>

<p>Also starting my own soccer league for these slums kids who I ve been observing for awhile now. There is a field with posts and everythign setup but they play wit rocks and barefoot.
So working on donations to buy them gear and a proper ball. Each gear is like only 5 dollars so cheap....but in progress . </p>

<p>And I do play a lot of sports mainly soccer eversince the age of 6 ...</p>

<p>Anyway was curious what prove should I take to show I ve done all these things....
Will letters and some pictures do??</p>

<p>And I am on the right track for my undergrade admissions? My A2(12th) exam results come out in Jan....so can i apply for colleges in this fall session with my predicted grades???</p>

<p>Why do you keep saying ‘give exams’? I really think it should be ‘take exams’ or sit for exams’. </p>

<p>Anyway, your SAT is low, try raising it a bit. </p>

<p>And yes, you may apply with predicted grades. </p>

<p>What about finances? Or did I miss something?</p>

<p>Fiances are taken care off really , that is no problem …

Btw are my extra curricular activites worth it or should I try for more??</p>

<p>your EC’s are pretty good. you probably want higher A level grades though</p>

<p>Is your green card actually current? You need to find out if your green card is still valid, because if you have lost that status by spending too much time outside the US, you will be considered an international applicant.</p>

<p>It is valid. I go back home every year for atleast a month especially for my greencard only, so alls good.</p>

<p>Good. That makes you a domestic applicant for financial aid purposes.</p>

<p>The next thing that you need to determine is whether or not you are an in-state applicant anywhere. Check the policies of the public institutions in the state(s) where your parents own property and/or maintain a legal presence. Sometimes people in your situation do qualify. However, usually they don’t. The other thing to check is whether it would be possible for you to establish state residence on your own. This would require that you move back to the US, find a job, and work and support yourself for a certain period of time. Again, it isn’t possible in every state. In Maryland it is.</p>

<p>Since you are attending a local school, you face some of the same challenges at a truly international applicant. To get the scoop on the situation for students living in India, you should spend some time in the India sub-forum inside the International Students Forum. To find that one, go to the main page that lists all of the forums and then scroll down.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
