<p>Hey I'm from Bangladesh too, nice to meet you!</p>

<p>I think you have good chances at a lot of the unis you mentioned, but it's hard to say anything for certain without more info. What were your O'Level results like for example, and which subjects are you taking for A'Levels? Also a lot will depend on your essays and (to a lesser extent) the recs.</p>

<p>Btw, I'm guessing you write for the rising stars?</p>

<p>What about A levels?
What's your grade average? A/B/C?
Do you have any leadership positions in that community club?
I think the best thing you should do right now, is to go to the chances threads for your schools, and judge yourself but set the standard higher- as you are an intel.
I was just wondering what you consider a saftey from your list?</p>

9

<p>you're the first bangladeshi i've seen with a higher CR score than math. i think you have potential. </p>

<p>let me guess, scholastican?</p>

10

<p>hehe..nope not a scholastican...shud've had a higher math score tho...650 is pretty lame considering all the math we ppl practice..lol...</p>

11

<p>What's your safety college? your SAT scores are okay, but don't go for all top 20 or most competitive colleges, its better if you keep a safety option open...</p>

12

<p>Hmm. I think by this time, aranya has already attended a college.</p>

<p>You've digged up the two-year-old post. LOL</p>

13

<p>LOL.</p>

<p>But I'd still like to know where he landed. Aranya, anyone home..?</p>

14

<p>lolz...oops...I was just searching to see if anyone else was applying from BD...</p>

15

<p>aranya, You're chances at liberal arts colleges are pretty good but I don't think I can say the same thing for Ivey's (including MIT). The thing is, those colleges just ask for something wayyy beyond ordinary.
Plus, we're internationals. I don't mean to say they're racists but still, he don't exactly get THAT much preference. Specially, if you are asking for a FULL scholarship.</p>

<p>All the best!</p>
