Chance Me: Purdue and UMD College Park for CS/CompE RD [US citizen outside the US, 93/91 CBSE in 9th/10th, 452/470 ECS 11th, 1460 SAT superscore]

Chance Me / Match Me

I applied to Purdue in RD, and please help me by letting me know whether I am competitive and whether i have a shot:

I live in India, but I am a USA citizen, and I’m applying for cs and COMPE as an alternate major. My family’s income is high

I got a 1460 superscore in sat (780 maths and 680 English)

I have a mid-borderline strong ECS (I can’t do ECS because of my JEE Advanced prep, most of my ECS are STEM-oriented)

ECS: I created an AQI analysis project using real Python variables and uploaded it on git hub, created an academic resource of chemical equilibrium, tutored kids on advanced math and physics, won 2nd prize in a school-level AI championship, and won a chess tournament, learning french as part of my curriculum and I have certifications in machine learning and python variables from hackerrank and kaggle and i also have a cricket certificate from my academy.

I studied in ipe background in ts state syllabus, and I got 452/470 in 11th grade ECS

I got 91% in cbse board in 10th and 93% in 9th

My essay is good enough (at least it won’t be a reason to reject me i hope so)

I have loc’s from my counsellor, physics, and maths teacher

i dont know my gpa because I study in india and here the gpa system is different, and the curriculum is very rigorous to make sure u have no time for doing external extracurriculars like research. Also i have a good knowledge of coding an python.

I asked ChatGPT to convert my marks in indian system to gpa in the USA system it gave an unweighted GPA of approximately 3.9/4 or even 4/4

I request u all to help me with ur estimates:

I don’t think you will get into either - it’s less about you and more that you need to apply EA for both.

Sure, some get in RD but the bulk in EA.

There are many other still taking applications.

Good luck.

Unfortunately both of these schools fill the majority of their classes in EA rounds, so RD is extremely competitive, especially for your intended major(s).

Hopefully you already have some other options!

Purdue doesn’t release that data. Only that CS has a priority deadline of Nov 1st and that they will only keep offering admission if space is still available.

I’m sorry that isn’t the news you want to hear but for future applicants, it’s plastered all over Purdue’s website to apply in the EA round.

UMDCP is another school that fills up most of its admit space in early action.
