What are my chances at UT Austin / Georgia tech / Umich / UIUC

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hey,
I’m an Indian student
My scores-
SAT - Cr -560 w-650 maths-780 (cr scores would go up by 70 points at least)
SAT 2 - (expecting 800 on each Phys chem and maths)
AP - (5 on both of the physics C)
Class 9th CGPA - 9.6
10th CGPA - 9.2
11th scores - 70% (well Indians tend to score low during 11th)

My ECs-
A good amount of experience in quizzing, (say 15-20 quizzes) and came first in the city for a couple of them.
A more than decent guitar player(have done a live performance in school)
Been part of the International press in 2 MUNs (we don’t have much of them here)

Achievements-
Well only one is worth mentioning… Cleared NTSE state level exam( the exam is taken in class 10th by 15000 students and cleared by only 90 students).

Also I believe I can provide with insightful essays.

P.S. - I’d be applying for fall 2016
Also , do I stand a chance at UCB?

Forgot to mention, I’d be applying to ECE major (also UTA does have a huge intage of around 1300 students for ECE)

3

What’s your GPA?

4

Because most schools base a lot of their decisions of gpa

5

Bring up your test score. Currently your SAT is low for these schools (assuming engineering major) particularly for OOS/international students.

@cs1117 Indian schools don’t give GPAs, the above mentioned CGPA are out of 10.
@billcsho my SAT cr is definitely gonna increase by at least 60 points and will be going for an 800 on maths.

7

oh you go to a school in india…i though you just said you were indian…oops sorry about the confusion

8

but its going to be super hard to get in as international student…i would definitely bring up your test scores but i know GT takes quite a few international kids

9

Increase CR to 620 is not likely to be sufficient as that is only around or below the admission 25th percentile. Aim at 700 for a better chance.

From what I have heard about UT, the engineering school is extremely hard to get into if you are not an auto-admit as a Texas resident. The majority of slots are filled by students in the top 7-8% of their graduating high school classes and the engineering spots are very competitive even for auto-admits. I would think that the remaining slots are filled by applicants with outstanding scores or compelling personal stories.
