I am Indian studying in the CBSE syllabus.
After getting a 9.8 GPA in the 10th grade, I started focusing on extracurricular (App Development) and stopped studying.
Last minute preparation was a regular thing for me in the 11th grade. I got a horrible 60% and 70% in the first and second term respectively. I am currently preparing for my final term. i am expecting around 85% in it which would make my full year’s percentage around 80%.
But I know I can get around 97% in 12th first term and half yearly exams.
Here are my other stats:
SAT 2 - 2400 (Math, Physics and Chem)
SAT 1 - 2300
AP Computer Science - 5/5
My ECs are excellent (Programming, sports, music, etc,)
Here are my questions:
- Will my 11th grade performance affect my chances of getting into colleges?
- Is the full year’s percentage taken into account or just the final exam’s percentage?
- What can I do to make up for my poor performance?
Here are the colleges I am planning to apply to:
- Stanford
- MIT
- Harvard
- UC Berkeley
- Caltech
- Purdue
- Georgia Tech
