<p>International Student (Indian descent, Singapore passport)</p>

<p>We don't have GPA in the IB but probably around 3.6 (yea shit ;) )</p>

<p>SAT : 2050 , 740 math 660 reading 650 writing (redoing it in november, should be around 2100 superscored)</p>

<p>SAT II : Math level 2 760 , Physics 700 (redid it in october, probably 750 ish)</p>

<p>IB : 36 HL Math 5 , Physics 6, ITGS 5
SL Chem 7 , English 6, French 5</p>

<p>References: I was predicted much higher in ITGS and teacher sensed foul play in my exam so she gave me a wonderful reference. Got another supposedly good one from my chem teacher :)</p>

<p>Extra Currs:
- National level chess player, was ranked in the top 5 of my country at u16 and am right now one of the top u19 players. FIDE rating : 1800 (Master is around 2000, to put it into perspective). Have around 10 national level trophies from high school years.
-100s of hours of community service with a service excellence award from my school
-Created school chess team and captained it to get 10th place in my country (quite impressive as we didn't even have a functional team before)</p>

<p>With that stats and EC’s,it’s a sure thing.</p>

3

<p>Thanks! But I highly doubt im a sure shot for all of them :wink: Thanks for the input anyway :)</p>

4

<p>Oh and to add I also teach younger kids chess and have helped them gain success (moderate) in local level tournaments </p>

5

<p>Maybe get critical reading up a little more, then most will look like high matches like Purdue and a low reach like CMU</p>

6

<p>Really? Purdue seems to accept relatively low scoring kids from my school (1900 ish). But thanks a lot for the input :)</p>

7

<p>bump! I could really use some chancing D:</p>

8

<p>B</p>

9

<p>U</p>

10

<p>M</p>

11

<p>P</p>

12

<p>CMU, UVA, and USC may be rejections but you should get into at least one! You’ll get into the others! Chance back please?</p>

13

<p>Thanks for the feedback! Yea CMU UVA and USC are my 3 reaches, not too hopeful on them but if i get into one as you say I’ll be ecstatic :smiley: will chance u back asap</p>

14

<p>You’re an international student, therefore THE criterion for chancing you is whether you’ll need financial aid.
Once you’re answered this, it’ll be possible to chance you realistically.</p>

15

<p>Oh I don’t need financial aid :slight_smile: </p>

16

<p>You have a good chance at all of these except UVA and CMU! ;D If you retake your SAT to get around 2150 then you’ll have a great shot at all of them!</p>

<p>Chance mine? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1697798-low-gpa-high-sat-chance-me-for-harvard-john-hopkins-tufts-ill-chance-back.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1697798-low-gpa-high-sat-chance-me-for-harvard-john-hopkins-tufts-ill-chance-back.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

17

<p>Thanks kittycatyeah! You really think UVA is harder than USC (uni of southern california)? I thought UVA was more of a high match and usc was a reach, But thanks for the feedback :D</p>

18

<p>USC is your best chance out of UVA, CMU, and USC. I think you will definitely get into Purdue, and also a low match at UMich!</p>

19

<p>UVA, Carnegie, and Umich are slight reaches, but you never know!</p>

20

<p>CMU -IS ED for a high-level chess player who’s also full pay is a high match, so your odds are about 1 in 2.</p>

<p>UVA EA (Engineering) = low reach
UIUC EA (Engineering) = match
USC RD (Computer science or engineering) = low reach
Purdue EA (Engineering) = safety
UMich EA (Engineering) = low reach
Penn State (Engineering) = safety
Lehigh (Engineering) = match</p>
