<p>Sorry, I have no clue how your credentials compare to anyone’s in the US but they seem pretty impressive. I also want to correct one thing about your post: AP tests are not supposed to be hard but they are supposed to evaluate your knowledge about a subject compared to other students’ knowledge.</p>

3

<p>Are you Indian? Will you be applying for financial aid?</p>

4

<p>You’ll definitely need a higher SAT I score</p>

5

<p>I agree, your SAT is pretty low</p>

<p>Thankyou for responding, I am Indian but I live in Dubai and no I probably wont apply for financial aid.
As for my SATI, My latest score is 2140, is that better?</p>

<p>Thanks again for responding!</p>

7

<p>Several ec’s are just a list from 8 on you list one time things like a camp or one time collaboration …meh. Not interested!</p>

8

<p>Im sorry, do you mean you are not interested in chancing me or if you were an admissions officer, you wouldnt be interested in my application?</p>

<p>I think you have to keep in mind that at a CBSE school were EC’s are the last thing people give credit to and the fact that there just arent as many oppertunities as I would have liked and have tried to make the best of what I had at hand, my EC’s are not too bad.</p>

<p>I would like to add that I am initiating an international student exchange programme in my school and as volunteering in Nepal for 2 weeks.</p>

<p>I appreciate all the responses.
Thankyou once again!</p>
