Hi all,

I’m an international student from India, and I just got my SAT scores today.
2190: CR-730 Maths-760 Writing-700(Very disappointed, was expecting at least 750)
I don’t have time to write the SAT again.

I will be giving the SAT 2 in October, I’m sure I’ll get excellent marks in that.

GPA(in 11th grade which is the only common test across the country): 9.8 (out of 10)

Other school performance: Top 5% in class always, many awards for academic excellence.

EC’s: Science Competitions, Quizzes, School Football Team, Track Events, Fully Functional Wireless Bomb Disposal Robot(gonna enter it in a National Contest), A General Tech Freak, Have contributed a lot to Folding@Home(does that help?), Award winning Gamer(lol…does this help too?)

Okay, what’s the chance of me getting into the Ivies and other colleges(like Duke, CalTech) which give NEED based financial aid to Int’l students?

And, can someone please suggest some ‘safe’ colleges which give FA where I can apply?

Also, is there ANY chance of getting FA at GaTech, since my bro is going there for Ms in CS, and I’d like to be in the same college?

Thanks in Advance,
Shiva
