Therefore schools and organisations have the help of other organisations to implement projects which allow the scale of projects to be severely increased. Is affliated with Oxfam, Amnesty International, a multinational Bank, THIMUN, the Frankfurt Globe (media source, and the largest student run magazine in Germany), University of Amsterdam, and several other organisations for funding. So far, there are 43 schools and organisations across India with around 2,400 students.</p>
<p>Started a microcredit organisation called Eutopia 4 years ago which is a microcredit organisation working in rural areas. Not as big as Project Synergy but still have managed to give loans of 27 lakhs (around $50,000). Works on the principle of Social Capital. </p>

<p>I realise that I have created a chance thread before but some things have changed since then and since all of you at College Confidential, based on my experience so far, are insightful and knowledgeable, I would appreciate it if I could get candid assessments of my chances for the above schools. Also, I have not listed out my teacher and/or counsellor recommendations because, I haven't gotten them yet ( College Admission season are still approximately 3 months away). And for those of you that have gotten into your selected schools, CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve it.</p>
