<p>@produde: I’m actually very, very similar to you, so I’m really interested in this thread. I’m an Indian-American male with a GPA similar to yours yours (3.8, Top 5% of semi-competitive public school, 10 IB’s and 8-9 AP’s by the end of senior year) and scores fairly similar to yours (2260 SAT, 800 Math 2, 780 Physics).</p>
<p>Most chancers on CC have told me my scores and grades were too low, but it seems like you have a lot of people telling you differently, so that actually gives me a lot of hope. Personally, I value EC’s and leadership much more than grades once the grades and scores seem fairly decent (~3.8 GPA, 2200+ SAT). I really hope admissions officers would consider applicants in the same way. </p>
<p>PM me if you want more info about my stats and stuff. </p>
