<p>I am a junior from the UK applying for computer science to these universities and I wanted to know my chances of getting in. Thank you.</p>
<p>My stats:</p>
<p>GCSE(Freshman/Sophmore year):</p>
<p>Math: B
Science(Physics, Chemistry, Biology): B
Additional Science(Physics, Chemistry, Biology): B
English: C
Geography: A
Music: B
Spanish: C
IT: P (This course was a P/F, equivalent to a B)
Additional IT: B</p>
<p>These are failed courses but I am not sure if they are put onto my transcript:
RE: U (Unclassified)
IGCSE English (E, F or D I can't really remember)</p>
<p>These grades do look quite bad especially the failed courses however I had a medical condition which hospitalized me for weeks at a time which means I had a very low attendance for 2 and a half years and this also caused severe headaches which did not allow me to really hindered my learning.</p>
<p>GCE AS levels(Junior):
Use of mathematics: A
Physics:A
Computing: A</p>
<p>GCE A2 Levels(Senior):
Use of mathematics: A* (Predicted)
Physics: A* (Predicted)
Computing: A* (Predicted)</p>
<p>SAT: 2200+(In practice)
Subject test: Physics:800(In practice)
Subject test: Math 1:750-800(in practice)</p>
<p>My ECs:</p>
<h2>In school:</h2>
<p>Helping teachers teach younger students at my school about IT and Computing.</p>
<p>Helping run a club for younger students in which we teach programming, web design and functional skills.</p>
<p>Assemblies for Internet safety.</p>
<p>Performed for with band for a music concert in school.</p>
<h2>Extended project: (This is where you conduct a research paper about a specific topic/argument and try to prove a hypothesis in this topic, I chose computing.) Grade: A</h2>
<h2>Out of school:</h2>
<p>Played guitar for 6 years.</p>
<p>Played piano for 1 year.</p>
<p>Practiced a kind of juggling tool called a "Diablo" for 4 years.</p>
<p>Have built my own computer.</p>
<p>Learnt to program in C, Objective-C and Python. I also know some basic C++.</p>
<p>Taken an online course for C and Objective-C.</p>
<p>Have released my own 2D game to the Apple app store.</p>
<p>Work experience at a primary school as a teacher.</p>
<p>Work experience at Google.</p>
<p>Performed at a local festival on stage in a band (As you can tell I was quite fond of music...)</p>
<p>Taken an online course for iOS development.</p>
<p>Have created some clones of games including Super Mario bros. but with my own sprites.</p>
<p>Have created websites in HTML and CSS however the only live one is being used by a doctor.</p>
<h2>Have created "Hacks" for video games this meant writing code to edit the game.</h2>
<p>All though these ECs don't look like much as I listed them shortly there is a lot to talk about especially the programming side of things which I think should help since I am applying for Computer Science.</p>
<p>I am Middle Eastern and middle class, if that has any affect on the application.(it doesn't in the UK)</p>
<p>Please rate my chances of getting into these schools. It has been my dream since I was 12 to study at Stanford but I still would love to study at any of these other schools. I wouldn't really want to consider UK schools as I don't like it here.</p>
<p>Thank you and sorry for the long post :)</p>
