chemical engineering at UIUC, undeclared engineering at UMich.... rejected by Cornell

SAT I - 1420 (660V 760M)
SAT II - 700(Writ) 800(Math2C) 800(Chem)

GCE O Levels - 6A1s, 3A2s
GCE A Levels - 4As

ECs... Nothing spectacular... normal stuff... didnt even win anything much less anything noteworthy

ynos, ddija get into UMich-Ann Arbor? Wow not bad....although I suspect a higher SAT1 would have got you into Cornell

aaron56 · 06-13-2005, 11:40 AM

hey ynos. congrats on UMich-Ann Arbor
but what were your GCE A level subjects? And how can you have A1s and A2s in GCE O Levels? My board is CIE what's yours?
...sorry havaldaar for not answering your ques. but i'm looking into engineering colleges too for next year

. i guess you are too.

oh wisconsin and hopkins but they thought i was really rich so they decided not to give me any aid

cfso1952 · 06-13-2005, 07:47 PM

is Georgia Tech a realli good school?

ynos · 06-14-2005, 08:19 AM

aaron56, my GCE A-Level subjects were Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Erm.. My board is Singapore-Cambridge GCE... I don't think we're the only ones with A1s and A2s for GCE O-Levels... the Britons also have A1s and A2s I think... FYI... UMich-Ann Arbor accepts A LOT of ppl from Singapore... you don't want to imagine the numbers... and getting straight As from O to A Levels is also considered the norm in my country...

Havaldaar, my SAT I score is considered extremely mediocre in my country, honestly speaking... and I wasn't surprised at all to be rejected by Cornell since they group internationals from a country in one pool before evaluating them... I wouldn't be surprised if I was near the bottom of the pile... Haha...

Chemical Engineering at UIUC and Freshman Engineering at Purdue

SAT I - 1370
GPA - 3.7
5 APs
A few ECs related to technology and sports

balac · 06-14-2005, 09:57 AM

I got into Cornell engineering but no aid so i am going to stay in my crappy country for a couple more years before finally going to USA.
1450 630 780 800
top marks in school

Havaldaar · 06-14-2005, 11:48 AM

Wow gvx Berkeley! Ive heard its really tough for out of staters! Congrats!

aaron56 · 06-14-2005, 12:04 PM

ynos: we have A1s(or AS) and A2s only in A-levels. I had the IGCSE instead of GCE 'O' levels so I don't really know about it. They use GCSEs in UK too instead of O levels now I think.

gvx: do internationals get aid at UC-Berkeley?
