Hi,
I’m an international student studying the Indian curriculum, CBSE. I’ve applied early to Purdue and chose to major in Computer Engineering.
I’m in a little bit of a panic, since I’ve already submitted my application, and the suspense is killing me.

Stats:-
ACT:
Composite-32
English-30
Math-33
Reading-34
Science-29

TOEFL:
Composite:113
Reading-30
Listening-29
Speaking-28
Writing-26

SAT Subject Tests:
Physics-800
Math Level 2-790
Chemistry-750

We don’t have AP classes but I do plan on taking both the AP Physics tests as well as calculus AB and BC.
We also don’t have GPAs but we do get a CGPA out of 10 for grades 9 and 10 as well as a percentage score for grades 11 and 12.
My CGPA:
Grade 9- 9/10
Grade 10- 9.8/10

Percentage Score:
Grade 11: 82%
Grade 12: 96% (predicted).

Extracurriculars:

Volunteer with the Art of Living Foundation for over 4 years. I’ve been teaching yoga and meditation to laborers in the U.A.E. for the past two years. Way too many volunteer hours to count.

Officer of the school chess club for two years. You could say that I’m the organizer and coordinator of the events.

Black belt in Karate. I’ve taken part in various competitions at the national level and was awarded the second position in the years 2016 and 2017.

Badminton player for my dad’s office’s team for 4 years. Represented the team at the national level winning silver in singles(2015), gold in doubles(2015), and bronze in singles(2016 and 2017).

Member of the school environment club where we clean different parks and beaches in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. Around 100 hours of community service.

I’m also learning the guitar and piano. I’ve reached grade 3(Trinity Music Exams) for piano but still in grade 1 for guitar.

I’ve also done a couple of online courses from edX.org and coursera to learn new programming languages and a couple of others to learn about circuits and electronics.

I would rate my essay an 8 or 8.5 out of 10.

One teacher letter of recommendation came from my computer science teacher, which I read and was pretty stellar. The other teacher is my physics teacher. She taught me junior/senior year but she loves me and I have a lot of faith that her letter will outweigh that.

Downsides:
I don’t have any leadership-type stuff.

Any input helps.
