Hi,
I’m an international student (I’m from India) looking to apply to Yale-NUS this year. I’m specifically interested in majoring in Life sciences. What do you think my chances are with the following stats?
SAT: 1550 (800 EBRW, 750 Math)

School Courseload: English, Physics, Chem, Math, Bio
(I do the ISC board, which is an Indian curriculum)
Converted GPA (weighted): 4.0 on a 4.2 scale
Current average in school: 85% (this is the bit that worries me)
Topped my school in the grade 10 ICSE Board Exams and won several merit awards for my academic performance.
Have consistently won the annual General Proficiency awards in my old school for academic achievement from 2014-2018
Extracurricular Activities:
- National level debater

- Participated and won awards in several local and national level quiz competitions
- Participated in several national and global science fairs. Was one team out of 10 teams selected across India to be a part of the Intel Girls in Technology Showcase 2017
Please be brutally honest - do I have any chance of getting accepted?
