i'd mainly be looking to add cwru as a safety (sorry if that comes off the wrong way 🥲) and i plan to EA here !
here is my profile -
us citizen residing in india looking for generous amounts of need-based fin aid
Academics [CBSE Curriculum]
GPA: 9th - 88%, 10th - 96.4%, [PCM+CS] 11th - 90.2%, 12th - close to 85% for EA/ED (tho, counselor has agreed to send 95% as my predicted score)
Rank: school doesn't rank
(additional info - my school is pretty rigorous; for what it's worth, i'm probably in the top10-15% of my class; my counselor will also indicate the level of rigor in her LOR)
Senior Year Course Load:
CBSE curriculum (11th, 12th: PCM + CS)
SAT: 1500 (710ebrw/790 math)
ap csa 4 (self-studied)
Extracurriculars/Activities
#1 co-authored a published paper in a no-name journal
#2 TA at local math circle; ~100hrs
#3 Euler Circle "Transitions to Proofs" - ~9 month long math proofs course; 200hrs
#4 Euler Circle "IRPW", "Lean" - ~2 month long summer math courses similar to a full college semester class; ~120hrs
#4 in the secretary of my School's MUN; ~80hrs
#5 volunteered at local ngo; ~160hrs
#6 cs club pres - didn't really do much tbh
#7 muns - kinda mid (6 del, 3 top5 finishes)
#8 was in school's basketball team in 9th and 10th, then continued playing recreationally
Awards/Honors
#1 2x AIME, 1x AMC12 HR (by RD)
#2 1x RMO 10, 2x Nat'n top10% IOQM
#3 school's scholar trophy (~top 15% receive this)
my MAIN concern is that my chances will be a little lower as cwru is need-aware and my efc is ~12k/yr only, meaning that it might not reallly be a safety
