I’m sure you know that because you don’t live in the States, your chances of getting in to one of the top schools in the US are very slim. You have a decent SAT score, but a average of 92% is about a 3.6 gpa. (I am a freshman in high school and my gpa is 3.7). Your extracurriculars are very impressive, so that would stand out on your application. Cross your fingers and hope for the best.

@Aisince where/how did you get this info?

I am not that familiar with the Indian grading system either, although I’ve heard that scores above 90% are generally considered very good.

Since she/he is looking a school in the States, ill grade the 92% accordingly to the American system.

92% is a A-.

A+ = 4.0
A = 4.0
A- = 3.6, (it should have been a 3.7 but her average is below 93%)
(this is just a estimate)

I know that each school’s grading system is different, but most schools grade according to this system, including harvard

And for the SAT, my friend (currently at Brown) told me you should aim for at Least a 2200, which could really boost your chances.

@Aisince that is how Harvard gives GPAs while taking undergraduate courses. We are talking about HS grades/GPA, which varies.

92% is not universally an A- either, and some places do not use +/- modifiers.

7

I know that school grading system varies, but it shouldn’t make a THAT big difference.

a 92% in senior year just isn’t high.

Are you sure?

However, just as important (or more important) are the OP’s extra-curricular activities, rec letters, and interview (if necessary). I see a lot of breadth in these EC’s, but it’s better to be greatly involved in a few activities than have a long list of 15+ EC activities without any indication of the amount of involvement (such as guitar player, member of debate club).

I’m also a little confused about these Android apps - it’s good to have experience writing your own apps and such, and I encourage you to continue doing so if that’s what you enjoy, but aren’t text-to-speech and doodling apps, etc. already widely available?

Yeah I know that’s why I am making this new app called RAPE FREE INDIA. Rape cases in india have increased by 100%

10

I would change the name of that app to “RAPE-FREE INDIA”.

11

^lol I agree 100%. There’s a difference between rape [free India] and rape-free India.
