<p>Test scores are really good and sports are always a plus for a school with a record number of NCAA championships. I think a little more social service wouldn’t hurt. When you apply try to put some emphasis on the hobbies your passionate about. Sometimes a too well rounded student can make admission counselors feel like the student is unsure about what they really want to do and he/she is trying everything.</p>
<p>well thanks a tonne for those advises you gave me … well i m passionate about Science to be precise … i mean i play those sports as a hobby only not more than that, so i m willing to take Computer Science or Astro-Physics or even Electrical as my major … so what else should i be doing to work up on my chances ???</p>
<p>Normally this is a dumb question, but you seem to have overloaded your schedule with math/science classes. Have you actually completed enough English and history classes to fulfill the A-G requirements? You need four years of English and two years of history/social studies, plus electives, to be considered for admission.</p>
<p>I’m not quite sure that international students have the same A-G req as in state and out of state students. I’m sure his school has their own system. Just keep up the good work and work hard on that application. What you put in that application is all they will know about you, make sure you leave a good impression. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>I’m not too familiar with the international applicantion but if there is an essay I really suggest writing about something that’s not your test scores or grades. They have all that information from the rest of you application. Your essay is your chance to let them get to know you as a person so feel free to tell them anything just as long as it answers the prompt which is usually pretty vague.</p>
