<p>If you're really serious about berkeley transfer to an east asian school and stay for a semester. Your chances of admission increase two-fold just by doing this...</p>
<p>No lie though, I think the 3rd poster is right...none of those schools you listed are considered "safe" for intl transfers. You're obviously a smart kid (1580) but maybe lack some motivation (3.6).... Deff check out cornell, chicago(think ur in there), Northwestern... You're a smart kid, get motivated and u'll succeed anywhere you go.</p>
<p>i tht cornell was an ivy too. i never thot columbia was such a far shot and somethin im still harping on is GRE (graduate level subject tests)
i have the strength to give both math n physics (working hard on it).</p>
<p>Cornell is an ivy, however an ivy which is easier to get into that harvard/yale. Columbia is doable, but once again it's in a prime location (nyc), a great school (ivy), and therefore draws an excess of over-qualified applicants.</p>
<p>You will get into Berkeley easily, trust me. UCLA is also a safety for you.</p>
<p>JimmyJ obviously does not know what he is talking about....</p>
<p>...yeah. Someone doesn't know about the exclusivity of UC schools.</p>
<p>you might consider UT-Austin, UMich...I dunno many good physics schools, and it looks like that's what you want...</p>
<p>in anna university we are given scoes on a base of 10
gradings go as follows
95%-100% we get a 10
90%-95% -9
85%-90 - 8
80-85-7
70-80-6
i took courses carryin a total of 27 credits in the first sem maximum possible amongst the only 5 students doin 27 credits
secondly its not possible 4 a student to score get a 10 in the first sem
the topper who took 21 credits managed a 9.4 out of 10
i have a gpa of 9.1</p>
<p>well that's really good. I dunno what else to recommend for you though.</p>
<p>Like I said, if ya need $$$, check out liberal arts colleges.</p>
<p>Cooper Union and Harvey Mudd would probably be great but they're very tough to get into.</p>
<p>Other great engineering/math/physics programs can usually be found at top public schools. UT, UMich, and Cal come to mind, but also consider UIUC, Penn State, and uh...yeah, there are more.</p>
<p>well wot do u think are my chances in carneige mellon, n duke n oder colleges
univ texas austin</p>
<p>um...look: Because you are an international student..that automatically decreases the % admittance to many schools..so Duke University and Carnegie Mellon seem far out of reach..but you never know---I would just apply. Your stats are wonderful..however see if you can catch their attention with something that other applicants might not have (did you do something very different from other students you know who are applying abroad at US too?)</p>
<p>And yes, I say you have a decent chance at UT- Austin. Look at UCLA also.</p>
<p>UCLA? you are from cali and you are suggesting UCLA? lol....ucla has more applicants than berkeley...</p>
<p>Poor kid. You seem incredibly smart but it's highly unlikely you will get into any of the schools you posted.</p>
<p>UC-Berkley has a 30% admit rate for in-state but it's only 9% for out of state (who knows about internationals) The respective stats for UCLA are 40% and 10% for out-of-state.</p>
<p>JimmyJ you've been posting alot of uninformed cr*p lately, most recently in tomahawk's post in the transfer students sectioned. You aren't well informed and shouldn't give out advice.</p>
<p>wow ppl make me feel so miserable
cummon atleast gimme a few colleges where u say i hve a very very gud chance plz
gud ones</p>
<p>As I reiterated before, Case Western Reserve is an excellent institution for science and engineering. I think you have a great chance of getting in. Also try Baylor, SMU, Vanderbilt, Georgia Institute of Technolgy - which I also see as a good fit for your profile.</p>
<p>Save your money and apply to schools that fit your stats, otherwise you'll just be wasting your money and time. Aim for schools that have a good physics department, diverse student population (so you will find those similar in your background for any help and assistance), and check out schools that do offer financial aid to foreign applicants. Although there might not be many institutions that do this, I'm sure you will be assisted in one way or the other. If I stand correct, are you a Transfer of Indian Decent whose making the transition from one college to the next in the U.S. or an Indian Foreign Applicant studying in the U.S. for the first time ?</p>
<p>I am perfectly aware of the exclusivity of UC schools, thank you. That is, their "exclusivity" is a joke. Back in the days all my friends who applied to Berkeley got in, and they had very plain stats at best, and were all a good 3000 miles away from sunny California. What people don't realize that UCB's sole reputation comes from its graduate school's strength. Also, Berkley is also very Asian friendly, so OP, I would definitely apply. Need I even bother talk about UCLA?</p>

<p>Heh. :rolleyes: To each his own, but <10% is pretty tough, in my honest opinion, and I would never tell someone that he'll get into UC Berkeley "easily."</p>
<p>im sorry Jimmy J, but you cant base your judgment on selectivity by the fact that both UCLA and Berk are "asian friendly" :-</p>
