<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I am an International student, currently studying 12th Grade in the United Arab Emirates in a school which follows Indian curriculum CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education).</p>

<p>I just wanted to know what my chances are in getting admission into University of Notre Dame for Aeronautical Engineering.</p>

<p>I dont have GPA grading in my school. The grading is purely based on marks obtained:
9th - 85%
10th - 90%
11th - 80%</p>

<p>My school does not have GPA grading but if it had then my score MIGHT be :-
9th - 3.7+ (coz i got A's in all my subjects)
10th - 3.7+ (coz i got A's in all my subjects)
11th - 3.2 - 3.4 (coz i got A's and B's)</p>

<p>I had also recieved a half-fee scholarship in grade 11.</p>

<p>ACTIVITIES :
I have been selected to attend the Global Young Leaders’ Conference (GYLC) in Washington/New York this year.
Swimming
Singing
Made Robot for science exhibition
Created a presentation on the periodic table
Helped the team in coming 3rd in an inter-school robot competition
Part of the school Anti-Smoking Committee
I have been learning Indian Carnatic Music vocal for over 10 years and have give a and half hour concert. I have also been learning Carnatic Music violin for over 3 years.</p>

<p>SAT SCORES:
MATH - 700
CR - 600
Going to give it again to get a score around 1350 - 1400.</p>

<p>Going to give SAT II's in November. Will get above 750 in maths, physics and chemistry.</p>

<p>Teacher Recommendations will be really good. Not sure what the school counsellor will write (but got info from previous school mates in US universities that we usually get really good recs).
Am going to start working on the essays when the apps are released and HOPEFULLY they should be good.</p>

<p>Will appreciate all responses. good as well as bad.</p>

<p>Opinions on chances of admissions will also be accepted for the following universities as well UMich, Ann Arbor, UVA, UIUC, UCLA and Cornell University and UPenn.</p>

<p>Thanks all.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about International students but if you were from the states, you would not be looking too good. Sorry.</p>

<p>It is hard to say because I am not sure how they grade internationally. Do you have a class rank by chance that we could see? That would help a lot in making this judgment. Definitely take the SAT again, as that will help you. Also, do you need financial aid? Unfortunately, ND is NOT need blind for international students :(. Nonetheless, don't give up and let us know on rank. Good luck!</p>

<p>i am easily within the top 10% of my class.</p>

<p>I am confused though because you aren't the original poster?!?</p>

<p>i actually forgot my password a few months back so i created a new account.........then i remembered my old password and so i use both accounts.</p>

<p>Ahh, okay. I do think that the rank is higher than we anticipated, and that will definitely help. Keep working on it and try to get it in the top 5% if you can and also try to up your SAT score. If you were able to do both, I think you could greatly improve your chances! Good luck!</p>
