Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm an international student studying in Middle East. My high school does not offer any AP Honors but the classwork is AP level. I'm in top 5-6% of the class with over 150 students in total. I want to be an electrical engineer.</p>

<p>My scores are:
SAT: 1910
TOEFL: 105
SAT Subject: Math Lvl2: 790, Physics: 780, Chemistry: 760
High school offers no gpa after class 10
Class 9 gpa: 9.8 (out of 10)
Class 10 gpa: 10 (out of 10)
Class 11: 98 percentile
Class 12 term 1: 97 percentile
Class 11 and Class 12 are on the basis of percentile. So even a 70% student can get A if class avg is low.</p>

<p>ECs:
National swimmer
High school swimming champion ( for 5 years)
Science fest winner
Participated in dances, dramas, debates and other cultural activities.
Various relief camps
Director Science
Received Scholar awards at high school for 5 consecutive years.</p>

<p>Chance me for UT Austin and PennState(University Park and Schreyers Honors College)</p>

<p>It’s really hard to get admitted to engineering in UT-Austin, particularly as an out-of-state student. I think your SAT score would need to be higher.</p>

<p>Schreyers admission rests solely on course rigor and strength of essays, and only 1 in 9 applicants gets in, so it’s hard to predict.
UT Austin only has about 10% students not from in-state, that means from the entire US PLUS from abroad.
I assume you have 45K to pay for either one?
Overall, though, you should be fine for both UT Engineering and Penn State Engineering (at least 50% odds you’ll get in).
You should apply to a couple other schools though, especially if you’re shooting for Honors College.</p>
