<p>That physics score will hurt you greatly.
Math one isn’t that good either. Especially for an Indian. I’d suggest trying some other subject tests or retaking those. Look at your school’s naviance/data for exactly how bad your gpa is.
As of now:
MIT: reach I think they’ll put a fair amount of emphasis on your poor sat 2’s. All the same, mit’s EECS is a huge department.
Stanford: low reach/reach: I think they’ll like the entrepreneurship angle. Also, of the elite colleges, they have the lowest sat scores so there’s a good chance they may look past your sat 2s.
CMU: reach/high reach They said they like to see good math competitions, and you haven’t done any. I’m assuming they’ll place more weight on your subject test scores as well. Also said they want to see interest, and if a student from the west coast hasn’t visited they’ll question how much of a match you are.
Duke: match/high match. Not as known for CS, they’d probably love to have you. This will be key to show interest here, or you might get lost in yield protection. Give them the love!
Chance back?
