RPI - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

<p>Hi, I am a American resident with Indian education (i am an Asian) I want to know if i can get admission into my selected colleges . I apply in October this year.
Assume that i write all the essays and stuff with average-good rating.</p>

<p>Moreover does my international education and race affect my chance. If yes please tell how and is it good or bad that i am internationally educated.</p>

<p>***** I also got the candidates choice application from RPI, which might give me a edge over the others. *****</p>

<p>I am thinking it as a safety college. please respond, thankyou.</p>

<p>------------ACADEMICS---------------</p>

<p>-grade 10 = 9.2/10</p>

<p>-grade 11 = 1st term 79.2% ( INDIAN HIGH SCHOOL IS VERY TOUGH )
= 2nd term-75%.
= Overall - 75.something %</p>

<p>-grade 12 = will send scores of 1st term as 2nd term result will come in may 2014.</p>

<p>-SAT I = CR-650, Writing-660, Math-790 .
= total - 2100/2400 and 1440/1600 (CR+Maths).</p>

<p>-SAT II = will give physics and Math IIC. expecting greater than 780 in both.</p>

<p>------------COCURRICULARS----------</p>

<p>-Volunteer work in an organisation promoting education among poor. ( each one teach one)
here i basically taught those who couldn't go to school basic English and Math. Have the certificate.</p>

<p>-Was in my school football team (class 8) and then in basketball Team (class 11 and 12) though i do not have any certificates for that. I rarely went for matches as i was too busy in academics. ( INDIAN EDUCATION FOCUSES BASICALLY ON ACADEMICS )</p>

<p>-LORs from physics teacher and math teacher(who buy the way also teaches in a Engineering college so that would make a impact)</p>

<p>------------PERSONAL---------------</p>

<p>-I am pretty good a Maths (specially calculus).i am gonna include that in SOPs and essays (somehow).</p>

<p>Don’t assume the candidate’s choice application gives you an advantage. Your score definitely gives you a solid chance. However, your ECs and GPA aren’t stellar. </p>
