Chance me! (An old CC'er)

<p>What I know is- midterms consist of UTs, Half yearly exams, and pre-boards ( if you are applying to universities by regular decision ). I highly doubt that your half yearly exams are already over and you have the mark-sheets in your hand. I guess you are from CBSE board. You have AVERAGE chances of getting in tbh, but nobody can chance you efficiently unless you provide us with ACT scores (which are the most important). Getting as an international student is immensely difficult, especially like Ivies, MIT, Stanford etc. They don’t even take 225 international students per year, even lesser. Average ACT score for Universities like Harvard, Yale, Stanford etc is 34! - which is a tough nut to crack.So, try to get over 34 to increase your chances. NOW, LET ME BE HONEST- I’M EXTREMELY SORRY FOR WHAT I’M GONNA SAY NOW-
Your ECs are not that impressive- I highly doubt your school didn’t have a website until you decided to make it. You have to list the ECs you’ve been doing from almost 5-6 months. Being an anchor at school farewell won’t impress admissions officer by much. As far as UCs are concerned- you’ll have to list everything- work experience, paid employment, volunteering literally everything, and I don’t see much in this list to be honest. As far as I know Common App, you need to list 10 extracurricular. Try to stand out among the crowd, things like Class representative won’t count for anything. But now you don’t have time as well, so list only the things you genuinely have. Good luck!!</p>
