I am a South Asian male living in Indonesia. I am currently a senior at an international school. I am applying to the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST), the University of British Columbia (UBC), the University of Toronto (UofT), and the University of Warwick. Can you chance me for these universities? Here are my stats:
3.6 UW GPA
1340 SAT - 690 ENGLISH, 650 MATH
SAT II:
MATH II - 670
LITERATURE - 630
PHYSICS - 650
By senior year, I will have completed a total of 8 AP’s
AP Psychology - 3
AP Language & Composition - 3
AP Computer Science Principles - 3
AP Seminar - 3
AP Physics C: Mechanics - Pending
AP Calculus AB - Pending
AP Computer Science A - Pending
AP Chemistry - Pending
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I’m not trying to be offensive or anything but, with the ap scores you received last year, I don’t think you will get accepted to the universities you applied…
That’s a bit of sign of no efforts and cares given to your education. Your university choices are perhaps a bit greedy but I really hope that you can get into at least one of the universities applied. Best of luck!
The two Canadian schools on your list (UBC and Toronto) are reaches. Perhaps more importantly, they are academically very demanding universities. I think that if you want to consider Canadian schools you would be better off with some that are a bit easier to get into.
I don’t know the other two schools in your post.
Thank you for the fast reply! Do you think outstanding essays would help my chances for UBC and Toronto? I feel like my essays were stellar and really described who I was as an individual.
Rejected from HKUST CS. Bummed out but excited for the coming decisions.
