u need to up ur SAT 1 for harvard....also sat 2 literature is bloody tough... i got 800 in both verbal and writing, and a 670 in the literature..

ure EC's are pretty normal for any indian trying to pad his resume... there are very few distinctions there and too wide a variety... seems more like EC's for the sake of EC's rather than interest. concentrate a little more on any one field over the next year, try and get some official positions on some of those clubs.

u have a fighting chance at nyu and cornell business skool... wharton ed attracts a large number of indians, none of whom require aid so it might be tough..ure sat 1 scores tho are in the usual range of accepted candidates. michigan ann arbor and virginia i would deem as safetires... carnegie mellon is also about 65 %... harvard is 5-6 % unless you seriously up your SAt 1...and show marked proficiency in something. you need 1550+ at harvard if ur an indian whoz not strong at writing. also at harvard a brilliant essay can get a 1350 student in so.... mit i dont think u have any chance... but who knows...you could always apply, they dont consider SAT 1 scores in their academic rating.

i just tok part in all those cs for the heck of it to put on my college resume.not really involved in any of them.

wharton is my dream school and i just have to get in.

which decent colleges do u think i would have a good chance of gettin any aid?.
and how would u rate my chances at berkeley?
thanx


oh yea about literature..
i like lieterature better than physics and any other science.
but ill prolly get a hiher score on physics than on literautre.did u srsly get 670 after a double 800?
damn uve made me change my mind about literature.think im gonna dop it.
thanx again
peace

If you're applying for business, I'd also look at U of Penn.
