Indian sophomore, chance me please!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>(Sorry for double post, new to this site :3)</p>

<p>10 CGPA in Grade 9 and 10
89% marks in 11th Grade (computer science student. Also, I got very very low marks in mid term (family issue) but extraordinaly high marks in finals, resulting in a top 1% overall average. Dunno if colleges like dramatic stories like this lol)
Expecting 95%+ marks in 12th Grade
SAT 1 score: 2310
EC's: School Choir, very prestigious school computer club (and have won many interschool technological competitions), member of a social service club (obviously as a result I did a lot of social work, but I do not have specific certificates to represent it).
I have also done courses in computer programming from a reputed institute in India and have a certificate proclaiming me "ready to be part of work force".
Completed internship at Cisco.
Currently, I casually play guitar but I will take the Grade 3 Trinity exam next year (pieces are ready).
I was part of school football team, and was awarded a special badge to indicate my achievements in interschool competitions. (I do not have certificates for those competitions, but I still have the badge. And this is from 10th Grade ONLY cause I had to leave the team to do choir and computer club stuff while still maintaining grades. Does this actually count?)
Proficient in German, I have a certificate from Goethe-Institut of Germany giving me a score of 59/60 in the German international exam. I also attended the german international camp in 8th grade (youngest one there) free of charge as part of prize for my great marks.
I am a scholar of the Junior Science Talent Search Examination.
Achieved international rank 24 in Unified Cyber Olympiad and international rank 47 in NCO.
Rank 6 in Wild Wisdom Quiz organized by the WWF India (National Level)</p>

<p>I will NOT be applying for financial aid.
I have not done any AP courses. I'm pretty sure I can score a 5 on Computers, Physics and Math with 1 month prep. A guy I talked to told me that AP courses do not help in admission at all and if I don't want the college credit, I should use my time to do other stuff. Is this true? If this isn't true, I will take the AP exams next year, rather than focusing on social service stuff which is actually recognized.</p>

<p>I'm also gonna try out for the international olympiads, although I don't think I have a good chance.</p>

<p>I'm gonna be applying for a Computer Science. Please tell me what my safeties should be and what more can I do to improve my chances to Ivy League. (I have 1 year left) </p>

<p>I am in the same boat as you (with much lower marks in 9th and 10th) and much higher in 11th and 12th midterms…been wondering the same thing…with the feedback I got, your SAT score is exceptional…try to score near 800 on the subject SAT’s…score excellent in 12th midterms…and to tell the truth the Ivy League is not really known for Computer Science(apart from Cornell)… there are some exceptional colleges where you would have a great chance,like UIUC,UT Austin,UCLA,Georgia Tech…the Ivy League,Stanford,MIT are very difficult for internationals,but keep on trying…churn out an excellent essay and who knows you might be in…</p>

<p>BTW are u in 12th?</p>

<p>And also tell me what you think of my resume if you feel like… <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1701839-chance-me-will-chance-back.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1701839-chance-me-will-chance-back.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>So…do I have a decent chance in Cornell or UCLA? I’m currently in 11th Grade. BTW by 95% I meant minimum 95% cause I’m already almost done with 12th syllabus :stuck<em>out</em>tongue<em>winking</em>eye: </p>

<p>Unfortunately, it is pointless to ask me for chancing lol idk anything about anything!</p>

<p>What should I do more to increase my chances at Stanford?</p>

<p>@IndianSuperGuy‌ if you’re in 11th…how did you get your final exam marks already?</p>

<p>Yes,you have a very good chance at UCLA…Cornell though might be slightly tougher,but possible</p>

<p>Dude Stanford is near impossible for internationals…though if you don’t ask for aid it might help your cause…but don’t count on it…write a good essay is the best advice i can give you</p>
