hello everyone,
I'm new to CC and would like to know my chances of getting into univ of chicago, UT austin,
UCB, UCLA or any other reputed college.

I'm an Indian and I completed my sat, sat II, toefl. my scores are as follows:
sat=2320(800-M, 770-CR, 750-W)
SAT II=800-MATH II, 790-PHY, 790-CHEM
TOEFL=110
SCHOOL GRADUATION PRECENTAGE=89%
I am a student who comes from indian ghetto or slums. I have to work everyday for 7 hours to earn money to go to school and high school. I was told by my school professor about eduaction in US UNIV with financial aid but my SCHOOL GRADUATING PERCENT is not high but if i explain my situation can the universities understand and accept me??

my family cannot afford my higher education but can i get accepted with scholarship??
I also won state science project competetions, art competitions

thank you.

idk if this is the right place to post this, but I'm pretty sure you will get into UCLA. I know someone who did, and he has less qualifications than you do. Good Luck.

Krishna, this isn't at all the right place for your question. It belongs here: What Are My Chances? - College Confidential.

Also, your question is far more complicated that yanaj1 seems to understand. First of all, because you're from India, you won't be in the same admissions pool as people yanaj1 knows. You'll be in the pool of international applicants, which is usually highly competitive.

In addition, you'll have a harder time getting need-based aid to attend a university in the U.S. than an American would have. Unless you are a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident, you will not be eligible for government student aid, and it's not always easy to find American universities that will give enough aid from their own funds to make them affordable for international applicants who are not from wealthy families. I am far from an expert in these matters, but you might want to start by reading this thread: Financial Aid/Loans for internationals looking to study in the U.S.?.
