<p>I can only speak for IIT. I would say you are likely to be admitted.</p>

<p>It all sounds quite impressive. I’m not familiar with the Indian curriculum, but the debate awards and the business cash award both look great.</p>

<p>Your SAT score could be higher, but it’s not that big of a deal. </p>

<p>If your essays are as strong as you say, you should have good chances at all the schools except UCLA and UC Berkeley. The problem with UCs is that they place some emphasis on test scores. Your great awards might offset your less-than-perfect scores. To be certain, I would recommend retaking the SAT if you can. </p>

<p>If you raise your SAT score, you will have a very strong chance of getting in. Even if you don’t, I’d still say your chances at UCB and UCLA are above average.</p>

<p>Thank you StormCloud
The thing is that im a terrible test taker
After 3 attempts only i took up my score to a 1920 :stuck_out_tongue:
Critical reading has been a problem from the start
n i guess m done with my standardized tests for now
Do u think i have a good shot at the UIUC and GA-Tech engineering programmes??
I have received mixed responses and m rely keen of getting into one of them :slight_smile:
Thanks for your response :D</p>

<p>Sorry, I don’t know anything about those 2 programs :confused: </p>

<p>Based on your internships, though, I’d say you’d have a shot at a lot of engineering programs. If your 5000$ award had something to do with engineering (eg. designed an app or something), then you should have a very good chance, despite your test scores.</p>
