<p>You certainly have a shot which is all anyone here can tell you. The competition will be fierce as there are many Indian applicants with similar stats and activities. Hopefully you’re from a less competitive state.</p>

<p>What is your State?</p>

<p>You will probably need to apply early to have a shot at either one and there is fierce competition among similar profile students (may not have music contracts but they will show something else equally interesting).</p>

<p>I’m from a competitive state, unfortunately. But I’ll be applying early to one of them, and will be sending an arts supplement (music recording). Additional recs from a well-respected music teacher as well as the director of my state’s Youth&Gov program. Hopefully that might help?</p>

<p>You have the numbers but you are an ORM.</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>
