@bhwbqhfb3owi Hi, in terms of stats, you got a great chance for NU! BTW, I’m also an international student taking A levels and ED NU.
May I ask why you are from and what you got in AS or A-Level. I’m a bit worried whether AOs in US would understand the rigor of A levels… I’m taking further maths this year…really demanding…

283

@APP2020 Im from India :slight_smile:
I got
88- AS physic
91- AS chem
91- AS economics
92- AS math
Haven’t done english yet. Wbu ?

284

@bhwbqhfb3owi I’m from China~
I got
90- AS Physics
95- AS Chem
92- AS Econ
91- A-Level Maths
all predicted A*
My concern is how they will look at those grades, maybe they are not familiar with british system…

285

@app2020 my school attaches a sheet at the beginning of my transcript that converts my A level grades and courses to the american equivalent

286

@bhwbqhfb3owi oh, that’s good. My school simply attached a PDF copy of grades… Anyway, good luck~ hope we both get in!!

287

I’m from India as well and I too ED’d NU

288

@bhwbqhfb3owi @APP2020 Guys, stop making me feel bad :slight_smile: Here are my predicted grades - I’m an Indian studying in the CBSE curriculum ;

English - 85 to 100
Mathematics - 85 to 100
Physics - 80 to 100
Chemistry - 80 to 100
Computer Science - 85 to 100

Hopefully the fact that CBSE is an extremely difficult curriculum will help though.

Hi Guys: Just wanted to run it thru experts of this forum. I would like to know, my chances of getting into WCAS ED. My stats are : Weighted GPA 4.2 (of 4.5 High) 2290 SAT- 800 on writing. Two Subject SATs 760s Math2 and Chem. 4APs completed, and 4 are in Senior year load. AP Scholar with Honors. Two leadership roles, with Seven ECs. My concern is I am in Decile II in my Class of 435. Not sure, how it is looked at. My essays are very good and Recs are Very good. Showed interest in the School. Visit and meet Rep. Did not have any interview.
Running a nightmares of this Decile II. (Just slipped in Junior year from Decile I, when I took more APs). School Normally allows 5. I have 4 by end of Junior year. Not sure, how it is viewed. Getting Nervous.
