If you open up a ‘Chance Me’ thread without perfect stats expect such stereotypical replies. Just apply with the best possible app & hope for the best.
Good Luck !!! :)</p>

<p>I wouldn’t go that far. ^ It’s not like we’re talking about a 3.5 average here. It’s a 2.something… </p>

<p>Unless her grades are on a different scale… Otherwise, I wouldn’t even bother applying to be honest.</p>

Well, if you know the International Standards, then his GPA is 3.9, since 60% in India is = ‘A’ in US Standard.</p>

<p>

First of all, he’s not female :smiley:
The best way not to get accepted is not applying, so in this case I wouldn’t go that far :)</p>

<p>Ya I checked up WES and emailed to United States - India Educational Foundation and they say that anything above 60% in India is equivalent to ‘A’ in the US grading system …</p>

<p>And you are right … The best way not to get accepted is not applying … I will surely take a chance …</p>

<p>If I get rejected … there are many more colleges, where I can study, work hard and make my own career… but if I get selected I will be studying at the world’s best university - MIT.</p>

25

<p>Ahhh I didn’t know that… And he didn’t bother to mention that…</p>

<p>By the way, sorry about referring to you as a “her”. Lol. </p>

<p>And if a 60% is an A, then i can definitely see you being accepted. :)</p>

<p>Good luck! I’m sure you’ll be accepted to at least 1 top school.</p>

<p>@AshishKumar Good Luck :)</p>

<p>Can someone help me with the answers to the short questions in the MIT application. I have already prepared the first draft. I wanted to discuss the answers and improve them. </p>

<p>So can someone, who got admission in MIT or knows what kind of answer do they like, help me.</p>

<p>^You should write as yourself, not write something you think they’ll like.</p>

<p>I can’t believe that a 60% in India is a “A” in the u.s. How sad =(</p>

<p>First of all, unlike US, in India we don’t have any subject/course choices.
In US you can select whether to take Algebra, Advanced Geometry or Calculus, etc. But in India, we study everything from Arithmetic to University-Level Calculus without any options starting from 9th to 12th class.</p>
