Hi,
I'm a 20 year old science student, having just cleared my 12th from CBSE. I skipped the 12th exams twice for several medical reasons, and my scores this year are as follows:
Eng: 46
Phy: 71
Chem: 78
Math: 33
CompSci: 77
I will send the English paper for a re-eval, since I wasn't expecting anything less than a 90, but that's only relevant here as far as the GPA goes.
I'm planning to appear for the SAT in June this year, but the winter sessions do not leave me with many colleges, so I will probably be applying for Fall next year. I have a great extra-currics record, so I suppose I can easily make up for this crappy GPA with that, and a 2250+ score in the SAT.
Meanwhile, I do not want to spend another year bumming around, and want to take up a BSc. course in India. Admissions for many colleges have already closed, although there are still some which are yet to release the forms. I WILL drop out next year to go to the US (or if all the Gods may have it, Max Planck in Germany.)
However, for this one year, I am looking for admission in a "good" city, aka something with a Metro culture, so that I can keep studying without getting stuck in the dredges of a dull degree-based lifestyle. Colleges in Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata and Delhi are what I'd aim for.
My 12th scores are horrible, so I hope there will be some good colleges with entrances (because I can study for those, my circumstances being a lot better.)
This is way too late a decision, but if there's a possible redemption of not getting stuck for a year in a nominally Physics classroom, I will be thrilled.
Thanks a lot for any help,
Aishwarya
