<p>Well in Class XI I have an avg of 75% but my final exams are not over yet, they are in march. And I guess just final exam scores matter as they have max marks as 100 and they cover the whole curriculum.</p>

<p>So what are my chances at the following colleges:</p>

<li>MIT</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Cooper Union</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
</ol>

<p>I am an Indian. I want to pursue aerospace major. Can you suggest some other colleges that have a really good aerospace program and my stats are enough for it! I know I can get into Embry Riddle with these stats, I had been talking to their educational counsellor.</p>

<p>CheerS!!!</p>

<p>You can't apply to Cooper Union as an international citizen living outside the United States. </p>

<p>As for the rest of it -- seriously, relax. You've posted half a million chances threads, and you've had very similar responses to all of them: score that sort of SAT score, work on your 12th grade, write good essays, and you have a chance. Don't waste your time on CC, get some schoolwork done.</p>

<p>lol...just thought of posting my full statistics and get some idea :) thanks Noldo. Well I have been working harder at school now.</p>

<p>anyone else wanna comment?</p>

<p>would you please enlighten me as to how a 63% is a B and an 83% is an A</p>

<p>that's what I was wondering</p>

<p>lol...because I am in India. The marking system is a bit harsh here. The passing marks required for exams is 33 so that is why 63 is a B. Thats the official Grading system by the education ministry here.</p>

<p>how are the admission at WUTSL? really competitive?</p>

<p>Erm, why do you show us all those ECs and awards? There isn't enough room on the applications for all of those, so the chances people give you are going to be skewed.</p>

<p>is that true?! how much room is there exactly?</p>

<p>5 or 6 lines or thereabouts on CommonAPP</p>

<p>so doing more than that is a waste of time?</p>

<p>Not really. You can always attach a Resume. You have to post the 5 (or 6) in order you value the most. I think colleges will be able to figure it out if you do ECs for the applications. Do something you love.</p>

<p>all right (10 char)</p>

<p>what are my chances at Virginia Tech?</p>
