I am giving finals for IB exam on October 2022, and I'm confident that I'll get a 38 or 39/45 and I already have a SAT score of 1500. IELTS : 7/9
(I believe my IB score adds up to a GPA of 3.7 as my predicted was 37/42).
My intended major is Computer Science, but I don't mind applying undeclared and then choosing a major later on (if that will benefit me in admissions, as CS is a competitive course).
I have listed 10 extracurricular activities, which ColllegeVine claims to be "Strong".
Overall, my 9th score isn't great, scored a 90% in 10th boards and got a 32/42 in 11th grade of ibdp.
Hi @aryan7,
Thanks for your question. You seem like a strong candidate for UIUC and UW Madison. Your GPA is on the low side for UMich and being a CS major. No issue with your SAT or IELTS score, your IB composite would be stronger if you can get a 40-41.
I have questions for you. Are you an international student? Are you applying for financial aid? I don't understand your 3.7 GPA. Do you have a 3.7 GPA? Or are you guessing that? What kind of real grades do you have on your official transcript then? Are they based on a 100-point scale or letter grades or something else?

Yes, I'm an international student coming from India. No, I'm not applying for financial aid. I'm guessing my GPA based on my IB score in mid terms of 12th Grade on which my predicted was based, 37/42. I haven't got my official transcript as I said as I'm about to give exam in October 2022 (can try to stretch to a 40-41). My high-school i.e. 9th and 10th were based on a 100-point scale in an indian curriculum based school and my 9th grades aren't great.
