The money that company makes is then again used for the social work of the NGO.</p></li>
<li><p>Founder of a NGO. Description given below.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Social Work:

  • Formed a NGO in 2009. The NGO is successfully registered in 2010 and is running several different projects.
  • Fundraisers are organized every year in different forms like fun fair, food and shopping week or different speakers are called.
  • The money collected in the fundraisers instead of just donating it somewhere we ourselves go and teach the students different things. There are many activities, which we have conducted from the money which is collected from the fundraiser.
  • We conducted a one-day fun school for the underprivileged children. We went through the books of the state board and after consulting the teachers we decided to conduct around 13 – 15 easy to do experiments and the unique thing was we made the experiment kits and then distributed the kits to the children. We taught the children how to do the experiments and then the children themselves did the experiment. It was fun to teach them and watch them do these experiments with so much energy and curiosity. We did this project in 7 different rural government Our main aim behind this was to develop interest for science in the children and also to make sure that the concepts are clear in their minds.
  • Also conducted health check up camps (check up by doctors) for children free of cost. The children were checked up by the doctors and were also provided proper medication. After the check up , we gave small lectures on different things like health hygiene, different diseases caused due to bad condition of living, different dangerous diseases and its symptoms. The health camp was successful and we got a good response from that,
  • We are now running a Sunday Science School. This school is basically for the students who are interested in Science and want to learn something new and perform different experiments, which are out of syllabus. For this activity we charge the students with a small amount which is required for the apparatus. All the experiments were selected by us and it was also reviewed by Professor of senior college. Students every Sunday come and perform those experiments. The experiments are like solar car, wind mill, magnet magic, solar cooker etc.
  • We also conducted like a survey in rural Maharashtra in which we went to many houses and enquired about the need, the difficulties which the people are facing there. Then based on this survey we provided them different things like blankets, Torches, Kettles, Sweaters etc.
  • We also conducted a camp in which we taught people about how to go about selling different things in the market. We informed them about different demand and supply in the market. Also gave them information that which plants should they plant and in which whether (conducted the expert before telling them). Then after that we kept a lecture from a professional in the field to inform them about the different whether patterns and also which crops should be planted and he also informed them about the use of fertilizers and also the use of insecticides and pesticides. The aim of this project was to educate the people about what to plant and when to plant and also make them aware about the latest technology and different fertilizers.</p>

<p>Internships:</p>

<p>Around 4-5 internships are done.</p>

<p>Summerschool:
Brown summer school</p>

<p>MUN - HMUN </p>

<p>I want to pursue a engineering major may be computer science, electircal or mechanical.
Which Universities will you suggest me ???
Thank you</p>

<p>Well you have certainly puffed up your extracurricular activities. All those ECs are less important than your GPA and SAT score breakdown. I think you are jumping too quickly to the “where should I apply” question.</p>

<p>The first question you have to ask yourself is whether you can handle the planned major(s). If you have low Math scores and/or low GPA in HS then the current answer would be that you are not ready.</p>

<p>I’d recommend that you study for the SAT and take it again before you even consider where to apply. If you score below 600 in math (or just barely above) and you don’t have a stellar gpa then I’d say you should go to your local CC for two years and get your engineering degree. If you can handle the intro classes then you should be able to transfer to your state university and get your 4 year degree in one of those majors. On the other hand if you find you can’t handle the intro math/engineering classes at the CC then you can switch to something else and haven’t really lost anything.</p>

<p>hi
but the thing is my SAT score is low because of my CR section Math i am getting 770 and SAT II math level two i am getting 770 - 800’s. So its not that i m weak at math !</p>

4

<p>What is your GPA? I may have missed it, but it seems you listed everything but that.</p>

5

<p>I don’t exactly know how to convert IB points to GPA. But my IB predicted are like around 39-40 on 45 points.</p>

6

<p>So you are scoring below 500 on CR? If so, many schools are going to be “iffy” with acceptance despite the great math score. I’d practice on the CR SAT (study vocabulary and root words) and take the test again in June or Oct. Many schools will super-score your SAT results so the 770 Math score is safe. Also consider taking the ACT - some students score much better on the ACT versus the SAT. If you can’t get the CR up then your best bet is with your in-state university (hopefully one has a good engineering/CS program).</p>
