Hello everyone,

Not wishing to interrupt the convo thus far, I just wanted to add another little question to the ones above ^^ : Would anyone here be able to provide a rough estimate of the number of international CV recipients? I’m an Indian, applying from Bahrain (i’m guessing you’d know where that is ?) and I’m really hoping for a call from Vandy Engineering… stats - SATs - 2270 (Reasoning), 2400 (P,C, M-IIC), 10th Finals - 97.8%, academics in the 90% bracket throughout schooling years and ECs, well, a lot of varied involvement (and yes, I might add, i’ve tried to put that cliched “breadth>>depth” aspect too) … Oh, as for the all-important essays - they’re alright I suppose (can’t do much about it now anyway; I tried to describe my passion for engineering with an artistic flavor)…

Alright, so in a nutshell, I’m not really looking for a “chance me” reply; I’m merely wondering if the world of statistics, if nothing else (since applying to US as a foreign student starving for financial aid is one of the MOST frustrating experiences imaginable), would shed light on where I stand today…

Many thanks of course…
