<p>I’d say you have a pretty good chance overall. Are you a 17’er? If yes, have you already written your essays? :eek:
UPENN, what with being an ivy, is a bit of a crapshoot, but you never know.
All the best for your decisions :)</p>

<p>Right, You seem to have a good profile overall. But, your 11th scores seem to be average but I am sure you can address it in your essays.
Try not to list all your ECs on the common app, select a few which you really love.
Overall, I can’t say anything about UPenn, but I think you have a good chance at the others.
Also, I see that you are into computers, so make sure that you show the colleges that.
Hope we all get into our top choices. :)</p>

<p>@idream, :eek: Have you written your essays, I am starting them. ;)</p>

<p>Mrinal, lolno I haven’t :stuck_out_tongue:
I guess I ought to start them too. I’m just really caught up between SAT’s/ACT’s, summer programs and an internship I’m trying to get. Plus, my JEE prep classes have started too and they take up a great deal of my time. You’re lucky you’re done with your ACT and SAT subject tests.</p>

<p>:D Yes, the JEE classes are quite tiring. FIITJEE does not give me any time to do any extra studies like research. Even though, I plan to do some ECs at Brown when I get there :wink:
As the time flies by, the stress of college admissions dawns upon me.</p>

<p>@mrinal and @idream I am thinking of giving ACT again in April to score a 34 or 35. First time I got
ACT Composite : 32
ACT English : 35
ACT Maths : 36
ACT Reading : 22
ACT Science : 35</p>

<p>Should i give it or not? What strategy do you recommend for Reading Section? I really want to raise my score. Are you taking the ACT or not???
Also if you could post your facebook profile link it will be great. I would like to friend you on facebook.</p>

7

<p>I ONLY gave the ACTs :wink:
I would say to practice more and I recommend Princeton Review along with The Real ACT guide. For more info, see the ACT section at CC.
And, I am not on Facebook ( deactivated actually ).</p>

<p>A score of 32 is not a bad score at all, gaurav. In fact, it’s perfectly adequate for the universities you’ll be applying to. I haven’t taken any standardized tests yet.</p>

9

<p>Completely agree with idream, 32 is the bang 50 percentile for most colleges including the ivies. You can be sure that you won’t be rejected because of your ACTs ;).
Just focus on your ECs and community services and you should be fine. :)</p>

10

<p>You guys started your essays already?</p>

11

<p>Don’t want last minute frenzy, do we ?? ;)</p>

12

<p>Lol. True that. :)</p>

13

<p>Is it only me, or do the 17’ers use more smileys than necessary while posting?? :D</p>
