<p>I’m just curious, what kind of a tech startup did you open? Do you have a website or anything you wouldn’t mind sharing?</p>

<p>Admissions is tough for international students, but I would say you have everything they are looking for. When you write your essays, try to emphasize what makes you unique - that would be the programming and tech startup - and what you’d bring to the school. A lot of international students have a hard time with the essays, since US universities are looking for something very different than most schools overseas. But you really have something special to offer, so I would say your chances are pretty good.</p>

<p>Oh, and keep your grades up!</p>
