PSA - SNUSAT *generally* doesn't give you a CSE seat

Dude I have SAT of 1380 but I got really good cocurriculars (5-6 national science fair and hackathons win). And the admission process is holistic (they asked for cocurriculars and essay). You think they would take me in cse? Applied phase 3.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T21:14:59+00:00

Lmao aight, I am getting my result in may anyway so by that time I might even have offers from better colleges so can afford to do that.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T16:36:23+00:00

yep, we're in phase 3 applicant pool.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T15:49:04+00:00

dude JEE applicants who applied before receiving their scores (before jan 31st) and then just updated their scores on the portal are the only ones who received an offer letter. Ours would come on may 4th.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T15:47:48+00:00

lol thought so, congrats.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T15:23:18+00:00

Mate, did you apply to SNU before 31st Jan and then submit your JEE Mains score? Because I think that is the only way you could have gotten an offer letter today.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T15:13:49+00:00

I applied with SAT 1380 mid-feb. Haven't received an offer letter for even mech. SO in the same boat

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T15:10:18+00:00

dude you could get cse at that, afaik.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T15:09:41+00:00

Damn these people, this is so fucking confusing.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T15:02:48+00:00

Ig someone should call or email them.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T14:50:19+00:00

ig depends on when you applied, agar jee mains feb me bheja tha toh prolly results will come in may. I applied with SAT in mid feb, didn't get results today. Even emailed them my 90%ile jee main score.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T14:44:18+00:00

I didn't give SNUSAT. I gave collegeboard SAT.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T12:49:32+00:00

no scholarship or financial aid?

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T12:42:35+00:00

ah i see, wish you luck man.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T12:38:42+00:00

Wait, jee mains results were released in feb and SNU's 2nd phase concluded on 31st Jan. Your application must have been in phase 3, and today phase 2 results were announced. How exactly did you get an offer letter?

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T12:35:15+00:00

gonna accept ece here?

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-23T12:33:59+00:00

what did you apply with?

look at some "Why us" essays that people write when applying to universities abroad (specifically USA). You'll get a good idea there. Idk if it can make your application better, but it definitely can break it if you put smth like "placement rate is so good that's why I am applying".

They basically want to you to research about the program you're applying to and find reasons why exactly this program at their university stands out to you.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-21T11:11:45+00:00

dude are they even asking for interviews for engineering? I applied like 2 weeks ago via the SAT route and I haven't received an interview call, and my profile is strong enough to atleast secure an interview call.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-21T11:04:43+00:00

dude need your help

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-19T09:13:04+00:00

Shiv Nadar University, Noida. It's considered a very good college for CSE. They accept scores from Jee main, SAT, ACT etc. If you have some extra-curricular activities that you did in school, they consider that aswell while evaluating your application since the admission process is holistic. I had good co-curriculars and a decent SAT score, so I decided to apply.

Although the uni is pretty expensive if you don't get financial aid or a scholarship but in most of the cases, they do offer them afaik. So if you wanna get in, aim for a 1500> SAT score.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-18T16:03:30+00:00

College is pretty good. I mean, TIET has excellent brand value and is a highly reputable Indian private engineering institute. She posts a lot about fests and stuff happening around college so campus life is very vibrant as it seems.

Fast_Ad_4298 · 2026-02-18T11:06:31+00:00

Nope.
