<p>^ I got alot of Kangaroo stuff, like 3 of them, but my ranks were all like 30s-40s in the country so i didnt mention any of them on my app</p>
<p>PSAT score came in today. S made a 99 percentile rank. Historically, good enough to be designated a National semifinalist/ Scholar.</p>
<p>Oh, Congratulations Perazziman :)</p>
<p>Thanks UT. He scored M 69, CR 74, W 76= total 219 on the National Merit Exam. As a semifinalist he should qualify for all tuition, housing and food, paid for four years, at a host of tier one, national level research universities. The National Merit Exam is also suppose to be a good predictor of how he should do on the SAT in senior year. So, everything seems to be coming together well for him. It is a big relief as a parent.</p>

<p>RPI is an excellent school with a fine nationally recognized name, located in upstate NY. It is considered at par with a CMU or a Georgia Tech. RPI kids often get admitted to MIT graduate school.</p>
<p>Assalamu Alaikum everyone,
I’m new to this forum so I guess I should make a formal introduction.
In my O-level, I’ve got 4 A*'s(Math, Physics, Chem, Computer Std), 3 A’s (English, Urdu, Pak Studies) and one B in Islamiat.
In AS level, I got 3 A’s in Math, Phy, Chem and an A in composite Applied ICT.
I gave SAT 1 this dec and got 1890 
on my first attempt (CR:600 W:600 M:690)
I plan to give my SAT-2 in january.
I’m good student, but obviously not the best. I’ve never been first in class. However i still have hope this year.
And Yeah my EC’s are not too great either. I’ve been to some MUNs and won awards. I will be also chairing an MUN this Febuaurary. I’ve been to Lums Psifi. Tutored Applied ICT to two students. I play alot of sports. football, rugby, table tennis etc. I’ve participated in few EC’s but really enjoy myself participating. Plus i’m a student council member at my school
Btw Love to read and write. I blog aswell. I’m a big geek when it comes to history and international affairs.
I wanna try my luck in applying foreign unis. Though I dont think my family will be able to financialy support, i still got hope.
I just want to do my best. Even if i dont make it doesn’t matter, cuz there’s always grad school or further studies. Doing your best matters, not winning or losing.</p>
<p>One question: What are my chances at georgia tech?</p>
<p>@ IbnSina
Your SAT score might be too low, considering Georgia Tech’s SAT range: 1940 - 2160, especially if you are asking for aid.
btw, Georgia Tech doesnt care about SAT-2s…
Also, deadline’s gone so I presu,ed you already applied! Good luck.</p>
<p>@perazziman
You’re living in US right? I dont think any of that applies in Pakistan</p>
<p>any one here who has her mit EC ms.Mubarik Imam.She is my EC.i have mailed her several times for my interview but haven’t got a reply Yet.the deadline has passed but still i want to schedule my interview.any one who has her contact no.??? what should i do now??</p>

<p>It applies to the limited extent that the National Merit Exam is offered at the American Schools in Pakistan; and children of Pakistani Americans, studying in Pakistan can take advantage of this opportunity.</p>
<p>@Chuckbass, Rennselear Polytechnic Institute is great, but I just want to let you know, they send those emails to everyone. I also get them. And I asked a couple of friends that they too got them. I do not discourage you to apply, but it hardly has any financial aid/scolarship for international students, and if your willing to pay full fee, you might just get into better institute than RPI.</p>
<p>@IbnSina, you’re chances aren’t too good, at georgia tech. The SAT score downplays on all your achievements, also georgia tech is very reserved abt giving financial aid/scolarship to international students.</p>
<p>Georgia Tech is not reserved it does NOT give ANY sort of financial aid to international students…</p>
<p>What schools are you guys at?</p>
<p>I thought Pakistanis here were active… this thread is dead</p>
<p>well umm, I dont know about rest of the people, but I was stuck with my exams in the last couple of days. :/</p>
<p>so where did you all apply ? I just applied to a few top ones…</p>
<p>Where is everybody?? Any non-US acceptances yet?</p>
<p>Anyone coming to KCL, London?</p>
<p>If yes, holla at me.</p>
<p>ive heard that some guy from aitchison has been accepted at cambridge</p>
