SAT

Hi Nomaan,
Your scores are not very competitive so you must target colleges below 30 for better admission chances and scholarship. You must also note that the applications are checked holistically that is your overall profile. I hope your extracurricular activities are strong and you have a good overall profile. The question you are asking is difficult to answer because I have no idea about your whole profile. Even if you take help from a study abroad counselor they will ask you the detailed profile. So you can check a counselling service, they will check your profile and select universities close to your profile. Check with Shiksha , they have a free study abroad service.

Hi Shrey, don't feel low. You will get very good universities abroad and don't limit yourself to just one university. Explore your options. With 88%, you can target the top universities in USA, Canada, Australia and so on. Of course, you must also have good extra curricular and a strong profile too. With regards to your query, yes you can take the SAT but check NUS website because they don't require SAT for CBSE students. Universities in Canada, Australia and New Zealand don't require the SAT, so you can try them as well. Scholarships are given on merit, your chances of getting scholarships are good. But it will depend on the university. Research well and apply early. The sooner you apply, scholarship chances are better they say.
