<p>That's nice but...would you care to tell us which school you're applying to?</p>
<p>I will shortlist from the following guys :)</p>
<p>Cornell University</p>
<p>Princeton University</p>
<p>Stanford University</p>
<p>University of California @ Los Angeles</p>
<p>California Institute of Technology</p>
<p>University of Illinois – Urbana</p>
<p>University of Minnesota</p>
<p>University of Michigan</p>
<p>University of California @ San Diego</p>
<p>University of Texas @ Austin</p>
<p>Purdue University</p>
<p>University of Colorado</p>
<p>MIT</p>
<p>Your grades and SAT scores would help too.</p>
<p>You seem to have a decent profile, have you applied to the IITs ?</p>
<p>Well I still havent given SAT, I have my SAT on June 2nd. I scored the following in my Xth class Maths: 88 Science:97 Eng:90 Sst:94 All of these were scored on a scale of 100.</p>
<p>I am not the IIT types. You know study for two years and not even sure that you will get your choice of major.</p>
<p>I want aerospace as my major.:)</p>
<p>I can your Math score hurting you (for IITs). Your ECs are excellent, but I would say they lack a passion. Have you considered taking SAT Subject tests (SAT IIs). I think they're required in some of the schools you're considering.</p>
<p>For IITs the scores aint important mate.. :D u just need 60% above on the whole to give the entrance exam.</p>
<p>Anyways is it necessary to give SAT cant I just directly give SATII in Physics and Maths?</p>
<p>so u cant all chance me until i get my SAT scores?</p>
<p>ajayc:</p>
<p>Need UC GPA and SAT I/II scores.</p>
<p>ajay, Really ? With the kind of people that get in one would assume ....</p>
<p>Anyway, the SAT scores would really help. Are you planning on taking the TOEFL ?</p>
<p>yup I will be taking the TOEFLs soon, English is not a problem for me.</p>
<p>Well I am listing my ECs of the past 3 years I will leave out the rest:</p>

</p>
<p>wowza, that must've been...consuming :p</p>
<p>Just FYI, "Cyber" has a bit of a different meaning here in the States.</p>
<p>ajayc: I second the people who say we need test scores to chance you. "Assume I did decent" is not nearly enough information.</p>
<p>well I have included that Cyber olympiad in my list if you observe :P </p>
<p>I havent given my SAT yet.... so just asking early</p>
<p>you havent taken your sat yet, not given</p>
<p>good look on the toefl</p>
