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

<p>FULL PAYING STUDENT ***</p>

<p>We don't have GPA in the IB but probably around 3.6 (yea , not too good )</p>

<p>SAT : 2130 , 740 math 700 reading 690 writing </p>

<p>SAT II : Math level 2 760 , Physics 720</p>

-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>Oh and I am considering NYU Stern ED 2 (information systems), not sure if it’s reachable. Would love some opinions on this thought :)</p>

<p>You have very good chances for all those schools, and could even apply to harder schools and probably get in.
chance back. You should apply to some reaches like columbia or dartmouth even if it’s just for fun because you would definitely have a chance at dartmouth. plz <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1711214-chance-me-please-will-chance-back.html?new=1”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1711214-chance-me-please-will-chance-back.html?new=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I highly doubt I have any chances at an ivy with a 3.6 gpa D: but thank you for the input! Will chance back</p>

5

<p>The ivies will be pretty hard with a 3.6 uw GPA, especially since you are international, but if you really want to, you might be able to do that, and write some killer essays, perhaps relating to chess? Just a thought. However, you are a very competitive applicant for the other schools you listed, so I think they are low reaches, only because your GPA is low. You have great ECs and your test scores are right in the ballpark for the colleges you mentioned. </p>

<p>Could you please chance me back? Thank you!

<p>@IAmTheGOAT‌ Oh of course, I wont get any ivy - was just mentioned them cus the previous commenter mentioned dartmouth. Would you mind being specific with the colleges because some like CMU are v hard with my score but others like purdue are relatively easier. And yes I will chance back asap</p>

<p>I think you have excellent chances for all of the listed schools. However, the admissions process for those schools is very competitive but I think you have very interesting E.C’s that help you distinguish yourself among other applicants. Being a stellar chess player like yourself shows commitment and appreciation to the game. Its also very noteworthy. I think you can into any one of the schools you’ve listed!</p>

<p>Chance me back

<p>You have pretty good scores! The only thing I see holding you back is your GPA (which is on the lower end for schools like UMich) but you’re very distinguished in your ECs. Write some rockin’ essays!</p>
