<p>I require some help
I am Indian student looking forward for undergraduate studies in USA and Singapore. I want to major in Computer-Sciences. I am confused as I am unable to decide which university to apply for ?</p>
<p>MY SAT-I was not as good as SAT-II.
SAT-I in January CR:450 W:470 M:800 TOTAL=1720
SAT-I in May CR:480 W:560 M:740 TOTAL=1780
SAT-I IN June CR:490 W:610 M:750 TOTAL=1850
SAT-Highest with all 3 sittings CR:490 W:610 M:800 TOTAL=1900</p>
<p>SAT-II in first sitting in November
Maths Level 2 : 800 Physics : 800 Chemistry : 800</p>
<p>I obtained 9.6 cgpa off 10.0 in 10th grade. I am sure to secure above 90% in Indian 12 standard CBSE exams.</p>
<p>I am also good chess player who has won gold-medals at district level competitions and participation at state and national level competitions
I was selected Best-Chess player and captain of school’s under-19 chess team.
I have won MS-PowerPoint presentation competitions at inter-house, inter-school and tri-city level competitions
I was selected Best-computer wizard of the school and the house.
I have been student body head of school newsletter publishing department and reported directly to vice-principal and house mistress.</p>
<p>Now, the problem I am facing is that I dont know which colleges/universities I should apply to. With perfect scores in SAT-II some of my friends told me to apply to elite colleges like Ivy league, but I think they are crazy. Some people say with 1850/1900 in SAT-I you are not going to get into even good universities like UCSD and Ohio State university what to talk about Ivy league.</p>
<p>Please tell me which colleges should i apply to and please do rate my chances in the following</p>
<p>UCLA
UCSD
UC Berkeley
Georgia Tech</p>
<p>DREAM CHANCES</p>
<p>Stanford University
IVY LEAGUE</p>
<p>Look I hate to break it to you 257448, but a 490 in Critical Reading won’t get you in those places and puts some serious doubt on your proficiency in English.</p>
<p>Even if you did get an 800 in both Math and Writing, the 490 still won’t do. This is what the CB meant when it said that the scores shouldn’t be looked at as a composite score.</p>
<p>Hmm, I will chance you with schools I am more familiar with. </p>
<p>Brown-reach
Cornell-reach
Middlebury-low reach
Colgate-high match
Trinity-match</p>
<p>Try to pull your SATs to 2200+ it would help.
I understand your GPA situation too…
I live in Singapore, land of the killer preliminary exams.
Chance me back too!</p>
<p>Brown, Cornell, UChicago, = Reach
Middlebury, Colgate = High Match
Trinity =Match
U of Richmond = Match
Dont know about the rest. </p>
<p>Chance me now?
[Chance</a> for ucsd, ucb, ucd, cal poly slo. Will chance back asap](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1583256-chance-ucsd-ucb-ucd-cal-poly-slo-will-chance-back-asap.html]Chance”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1583256-chance-ucsd-ucb-ucd-cal-poly-slo-will-chance-back-asap.html)</p>
<p>Fordham - match
Brown - high reach
NYU (and NYUAD + NYU Poly) - reach
Cornell - high reach
UChicago - high reach
Williams - reach
Colgate - reach
Trinity, CT - reach
U of Richmond - low reach
Colby - reach
Bates - reach
Washington & Lee - reach</p>
<p>To be completely honest, with your grades and scores you’re going to have a difficult time getting accepted into top tier schools and no true standout extracurriculars. You should consider applying to some safeties because the majority of your list is big big reaches.</p>
<p>Fordham - High Match
All Ivys, Williams, & UChicago - Far Reaches
F&M - Low Match
Colby - Match
The rest are reaches…</p>
