These are some colleges are keen on getting into:
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
UCLA
UCSD
Georgia Tech
Purdue
Boston University
University of Wisconsin Madison
University of Illinois at Urbana champaign
University of Texas, Austin
NYU
UC Berkeley
Do I have a good chance of getting into any of these colleges?
What major/program are you applying for?
What is your GPA?
I’m applying for a Computer Science related major. My GPA is probably around 3-4.
Can you be specific about your GPA? 3 to 4 is a really broad range.
Very unlikely for UT Austin unless you are in state and in the top 7% of your class.
The problem with being specific about GPAs is that I don’t study in the U.S, so I don’t get assigned a GPA.
OK, let’s suppose it’s 3.5.
If were are assuming 3.5 unweighted GPA?
UCLA/UC Berkeley: Reach
UCSD: Low Reach
What at extra curricular activities, clubs, awards, competitions?
HS course rigor? IB? AP?
Extra curriculars: international Olympiad, debate team, multimedia head for school day, school magazine editor, and 6 years of classical dance training.
I also got a merit certificate from the hrd ministry for scoring a perfect cgpa in the 10th board exams. I won a few misc. Creative writing and stoytelling awards from interschool cultural fests.
