Hi,
34 ACT, 800 Math L2, 700 Physics :’(
9th: 82% (Was slacking off)
10th: 94%
11th: 96%
12th: 94%
Rank: 1/320
Have very strong + unique extra-curriculars with a few major national awards. My essays are strong as well.
Mostly applied to ivies and the likes. My only safeties are UIUC and Gtech. I want to study mathematics
@Indijat I am treating US universities as a second option. I am mainly preparing for IIT.
So even if I don’t get into any of those colleges, I can still get into IIT ( with a good rank hopefully 
)
On the chance, that I do get into one of those places, I will drop JEE and go abroad.
You can say that IIT is my safety college I am fairly confident that I will get a good rank in JEE. US is still a gamble.
@OmnipotentSaber Looks like you must be pretty solid with your PCM basics and advanced questions. Getting into IIT is a different story on another level. At the same point, you also need the “LUCK” as it is all about a 1 day shot. If you have the luck and knowledge, you “CRACK” it.
Best of Luck!
My act composite is 27
English-26
Math-34
Reading-25
Science-24
I am an international student from India who recently graduated with 86% Avg(CBSE).
I also applied to schools like penn state,Virginia tech,Purdue,UIUC.I consider these schools as safety schools for me,correct me if I am wrong.I want to study industrial engineering here.Affordability isn’t really my concern.Anybody chance me plz for georgia tech engineering
@Srijith97 Following schools aren’t in any way ur safties and Penn state and VA Tech are even ur slight reach!!
Another thing:Most International students already received VA Tech decision. Didn’t u?
U can still apply to ASU and U of arizona as ur matches!
Anyway, good luck and sorry for breaking ur hopes, but u would have regretted everything after…so…!!!
@Srijith97 Those schools are NOT your safeties because of your ACT and Percentage.
Georgia Tech is a high reach
@oreolover123 How long did it take for Waterloo to send out a decision once all your scores reached and the AIF was completed?
I uploaded my transcripts on 17th Dec and I got a mail from the dean on jan 11th stating that they have reviewed my application and are ready to offer me admission upon completion of the AIF
after i completed my AIF, they sent a formal acceptance on 15th jan
And this is for Computer Science btw
I dont think they have started accepting engineering applicants
@blaugrana9
Ahh, I haven’t received any mails yet. Submitted everything in Jan and the TOEFL scores reached them around 28th Jan. I’m applying for CS too, not Engineering. @oreolover123
bro indijit I dont know why u are saying va tech and penn state are my slight reaches because I have a higher math and english score than U.U got selected into mechanical engineering,one of the more competitive majors.And I applied for Regular decision for Va tech,so I will get my decision on april 1st u probably applied for EA.I am just being candid bro.
@Srijith97 Then which scores did u lack behind me as I see no other subjects in standardized tests??
Again, I also applied for regular action!!!
But I heartily wish u would get into these universities. Good luck!
@indijit Bro my act math is equivalent to 780 on sat and my act reading is equivalent to 600 on sat.If u think I am lying about the notification go to this link http://www.admiss.vt.edu/apply/dates-and-deadlines/.I applied for fall term and I am awaiting my decision until April 1st.
@Srijith97 They may not be reaches for you but they are not definitely your safeties. Please accept the advise and maybe make your list more inclusive with schools that are famous for accepting internationals in your range of schools. Don’t confuse yourself with SAT Score Ranges of state universities because they increase dramatically for internationals.
@Srijith97 Apply to purdue if you still have that option
@warrior1208 Thanks. Yes I believe I am solid with my basics. I am just kinda happy that I have the talent. For me it has been a breeze so far. Not as exciting as everyone cuts it out to be. This was also the reason why I got the abroad applications in while preparing well for IIT.
I am big on the “LUCK” department. I am sure I will “CRACK” it. XD
Thanks! I love to collect all the LUCK i get!
