<p>I am an Indian Student with CBSE Board completion certificate. I secured 73% in my board exams which are equal to APs. I have an SAT score of 580 in CR 660 in Math and 570 in Writing(62 in MC and 7 in Essay). </p>
<p>I am interested in doing research in Operating Systems so I wish to do a CSE from UIUC. Any tips you like to give me to make sure I get in?
I am planning to apply to Purdue; I am trying my luck at Stanford and USC(with better scores expected to come this December).</p>
<p>Any tips from Alumni or already studying student to get admissions in these univs will be like a gospel to me. :|</p>
<p>Thanking you
Bharadwaj</p>
<p>You might contact the Indian student organization(s) at your target schools for some advice. Good luck!</p>
<p>Treetopleaf, Thankyou! I tried it…I am looking for your views…consider me as an International student and give me some advice… </p>
<p>Also please take a look at this post and let me know if you can help me out in this too.

<p>Thank you once again

<p>I could be wrong, but a 660 Math seems low for UIUC. I’d really try to find a few less competitive schools than UIUC if studying in the US is your goal.</p>
