I just turned in my college application. I am not nervous but I am eager to know my admission chances. I am from India. I have a gpa of about 3.7(we dnt have gpa in India, I m jus givin US equivalent), but I m 1st in my graduating class(of 60) Since my high school doesnt award high grades easily, would my rank cover up for a low gpa? I got a SAT of 1830 (really low verbal score) but a high TOEFL score of 110. Excellent recs, one said that I was special. I got a couple of awards in international science presentation, national level finalist in science exhibition. I have also been honored by the state government on republic day(not a small thing). Do I have any chance in Cornell or Sanford? I have also applied to Brandeis, Grinnell and Macalester(any chance?)
Actually I got unusual family circumstances. In short, due to medical condition of my dad, we faced a lot of money shortage(no social security in India; if u cant earn, u suffer). I mentioned that, would I get any consideration
