I’m assuming (hoping?) that you don’t mean “rigged” in the literal sense. Did you just mean to say “not rigorous”? Those are two very different things!
And what do you mean when you say you have second thoughts about your 9th grade marks? You can’t choose not to submit them if a college requires them.
Also, my understanding that the reason why some schools don’t require WES is that they have someone in-house who has knowledge of international standards and does what WES would do, but for free and on behalf of the college.
But your SAT is very strong except for the most highly selective schools so you still show a lot of academic promise.
To be honest, I’m a little concerned that after nearly 550 posts, we’re about to head down another rabbit hole. 
@MYOS1634 will the colleges know the rigor or lack thereof of the OP’s boards and will that be a problem or will the fact that he did as well as he did (1st in school) be evaluated against what was available to him and not be held against him?
I just learned about Texas A&M International in Laredo, TX from another thread.
The out of state cost is upper 30s but you might qualify for a $30 or $25K scholarship.
Unfortunately, no message of citizenship is mentioned but you might reach out to them and ask.
What do you mean “rigged”? Is this after also saying the principal faked your 9th grade transcript? These kind of assertions worry me.
Do you have a source for the scholarship? I’m not seeing anything close to that amount.
Maybe that’s a four year, not one year # - like U Colorado does?
If you think it’s worthy, for OP this is the email address to get admission and aid questions answered - enroll@tamiu.edu
I think this is a real possibility of meeting OP’s price point.
OP – I would definitely check this out!
I meant in respect to my SAT score, they could have been submitted.
Its both, my state board exam (not CBSE) gives the EXACT same questions over years. I heard many people tell that it is of no value in intl admissions.
Mailed them thank you.
I clicked in this post first because the title then the number of replies. Here’s my main thoughts after reading the majority of the responses.
I teach high school in Texas, title 1 campus, meaning it’s poor and most of our students don’t progress well academically. The campus average SAT score is three-digit. There is one counselor serving about 700 seniors for college and military applications. On this campus every year I can count about 10 students earning 1400+ (or very close) SAT scores despite the obstacles they have to overcome. They take the most advanced courses offered, although there are not that many and some are taught by teachers following canned curriculum. They work very hard in school and in part-time jobs because they believe college is their way out. These are the applicants hoping for many of the scholarships mentioned in this thread, such as those offered by UTSA and TAMUIU. These kids don’t even dream beyond the state border.
I think this is important information OP should know and take into consideration when estimating the chances.
I meant to say my Boards are weak and submitting SAT is perhaps the best way to demonstrate by academic potential.
Thank you so so much for the detailed reply.
I am not applying to Texas uni’s anyways due to WES sadly.
I’ll be honest with you people, if I had a counselor you would not have needed to bear with my troubles
I am sorry for being a burden.
I thank your help deeply.
Is WES a one time fee and $8 per school ? Someone hinted that above.
If true and you have $12k a year you should consider spending it. You are closing what might be the lowest cost doors. You are looking to spend $48k over four years - a few hundred may seem a lot but in the grand scheme isn’t.
Not sure if I have the pricing right.
Your suggestion is great but too late the WES takes 7-10 days to process and deadlines are here.
Not faked, I wasn’t talking about 9th grade marks I was about 11th grade, they are managed by a state board who does not conduct rigorous exams and repeats questions.
You are applying so you’ll see.
It seems to me many WES schools don’t have a deadline of tomorrow.
Bluntly - you have little chance of coming to America. But disqualifying the Minots and Landers of the world, you make your chances even less.
I applaud your persistence.
This is the page I looked at. It says for freshman applicants, get the document by document evaluation ($115 for basic) but I think you’ll need the upgrade as then they’ll save your report and you can just pay to send to colleges. I also think you don’t need this on application day and can submit later, just like you’ll submit your new SAT scores later.
I agree that you are eliminating a lot of schools that might be good options because you don’t want to pay the WES fee. It is your choice, but I think your chances of getting into Minot or a similar school are very high, and your chances of getting to Amherst or Brown are very, very low. It’s your money, but if you don’t spend any on application fees and SAT scores, you are going to be sitting in India next year with $12k in your bank but no college to go to. It’s just how this system works, you have to pay the fees for applications and the visa, and travel, and clothing for the cold climates.
400 or so posts ago you said you have $12k for your first year and I said no you don’t, because almost all of that is going to be used up for applications, visas and travel before you even set foot in the USA. I still think that’s true.
