<p>GPA? </p>

<p>first please.(:</p>

<p>I got 9/10 in my 10th
12 IB should be about 37-39</p>

<p>Is this some foreign GPA?</p>

<p>9/10 gpa in tenth
There are many systems in India now</p>

<p>Someone please help with whether I am aiming ok or not, from India i really cannot figure out reach safety etc for these schools. Thanks.</p>

<p>It’s a bit hard to figure out what 9/10 means for a gpa, but I guess that may be a good thing, or is 2/1 a better gpa? Well, based on your other stats, it seems that your alright for most of these schools expect NYU. If I were you, I would raise your SAT up a bit and apply ED. Otherwise, you seem alright for most of these schools.</p>

<p>Chance me?

<p>NYU, Boston College, and Barnard are big reaches with an 1830 SAT.</p>

<p>Smith and Mt. Holyoke are very interested in international students so they might forgive your SAT score. (Targets)
NYU, Boston College, and Barnard (Reaches)
Bryn Mawr, Grinell (Targets)</p>

<p>Smith and Holyoke seem to be your target schools.

NYU might not be because they like cash cows (rich internationals).</p>

<p>Issue is econ requires some CR skills. See if you can improve that score.</p>

<p>Thank you eastcoastchse, masong and schmohawk for the school response. What would be considered a safety for me?</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice oldarnold and lforward.</p>

<p>How Univ of Mich & UT austin or such bigger universities. Chances there with an 1820 sat for business or economics?</p>

<p>Could someone please comment on the chances of economics or business at U Mich or UT austin or similar schools vs. getting into grinnell or bryn mawr?</p>

<p>What safety should I keep, can’t miss the whole boat :)</p>

<p>Chimpu, sorry for paraphrasing the Q for you. Did not have an answer but thought you could do with a safety on that list. Did not mean to imply you will miss out, just that you should get some coverage.</p>
