One of our successful campaigns included a rally against the poor implementation of plastic bag laws, according to which the use of plastic bags in the city is banned. The Chief Minister of Delhi, not only applauded us for our constant efforts to make people aware of the importance of standing up for what you believe in, but also awarded us with a * “ letter of appreciation.”*</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>GA Tech is Georgia Tech.
UIUC is University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign</p>

<p>Personally, I think Yale is a high high high reach for me.</p>

4

<p>nah I think out of the 3 HYP … you have the best chance at Yale… since I have seen a girl with a 2080 but some great EC’s like you get accepted there… this year ED…</p>

<p>and I dont know about GA Tech but you are definitely in UIUC also :)</p>

5

<p>2080 :O</p>

<p>Wow.</p>

<p>She must have some CRAZY ECs!</p>

<p>Thanks for the chance. :)</p>

6

<p>Thanks for chancing me!!</p>

<p>Great shot everywhere. I think that you’ll get Yale. That’s probably your best bet out of HYP. Your stats are great and your ECs are really surprising and make you stand out. Congrats on the CD, by the way. Good luck!</p>

<p>^wow, thanks. But yale does have an under 9% acceptance, and being an international with a 2110 SAT doesn’t help :P</p>

<p>hehe. But thanks. I hope I get in. :)</p>

8

<p>Anyone else? :D</p>

<p>Hey thx for chancing. Appreciated.
Honestly, I don’t know much about these schools, but as long as your credentials (GPA, SAT/ACT) are above average, and if you participated in a number of meaningful extra curricular activities, you should be good. In my opinion, everything looks pretty decent.</p>

10

<p>It would depend on the decisions of the admissions committees at the schools in question.</p>

11

<p>^ You don’t say.</p>

12

<p>Anymore chances? I will chance back. :)</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>Just an honest statement. :slight_smile: I mean, I don’t know what goes on in Yale’s admission officer’s minds when they read applications. You do have a good chance at most schools you listed.</p>

14

<p>Sounds like you have a good shot at all of your schools. Your “just for fun” schools sounds like they are reaches, but the rest are high matchs to low reaches, and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Good luck :)</p>

15

<p>DMOC, yeah I got what you meant. I understand why you might think these chance threads are useless, and that’s a debate for another day. And thanks. :)</p>

<p>SillyStokey92, thanks! Do you think the 690 in Chemistry might just kill my app?</p>

16

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>I’d appreciate if anyone who’s gone thru the admission process would chance me too! :)</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

17

<p>Your scores and ECs are amazing but just be aware of the fact that there IS a lot of competition among international applicants. I can’t provide much insight since I’m only a junior, but I wish you the best of luck.</p>

18

<p>I understand. Thanks anyways.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>And… bump.</p>

19

<p>Those extracurriculars are amazing. You’re in at Penn State, Berkeley, UMichigan, Purdue, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and Georgia Tech. The rest are reaches, but not far out of your reach.</p>

20

<p>the only one i can speak for is michigan and with those EC’s you should definitely be in. duke is really tough with the test scores those. i got rejected from early decision with similar scores. being from india really helps, especially for michigan</p>
